Sleeve gastrectomy without bougie is safe and effective operation: case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an effective method for weight loss; it is done by laparoscopy or open approach; it is a restrictive procedure and involves removing part of the stomach by cutting over bougie, which ensures that stenosis doesn't occur. Bougie may cause esophageal perforation. There are studies that show the size of bougie used and weight loss are related. We show a case of open SG without using bougie at all. It is an effective and safe method and results in ~30% of weight loss 3 months after the operation without complications; thus, we conclude that SG can be done without bougie.
