Does antrum size matter in sleeve gastrectomy? A prospective randomized study.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a safe and effective bariatric procedure in terms of excess weight loss. Nevertheless, controversies still exist on several technical and operative aspects of LSG. The aim of this study is to evaluate variations in anthropometric features in subjects with a LSG gastric resection starting from 2 cm or 6 cm from the pylorus. Secondary aim was the evaluation of differences in morbidity, food tolerance, and GERD incidence studied with upper endoscopy (UE) and GERD Health-Related Quality-of-Life score.
methodsPatients were prospectively randomized into 2 groups: Group A (at 2 cm proximally to the pylorus) and Group B (at 6 cm proximally to the pylorus). All patients were followed-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. UE was performed in all patients at 12 or 24 months.
resultsOne hundred and fifty met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. The anthropometric features (BMI, %EWL, %TWL) resulted statistically different in the first 12 months (24.2 ± 3.4 vs 27.5 ± 4.3, 63.7 ± 14.1 vs 59.6 ± 12.5 and 42.9 ± 7.4 vs 38.2 ± 6.2), in favor of group A. At 24 months the differences disappeared (25.2 ± 4.4 vs 26.2 ± 3.3, 62.8 ± 13.1 vs 61.6 ± 10.5 and 41.9 ± 7.4 vs 40.2 ± 6.2). An increased GERD was found in both groups postoperatively with a higher incidence in group A at 6-month follow-up.
conclusionPerforming the LSG with a radical antrectomy could improve weight loss at 12-month follow-up but expose to lower food tolerance and higher transitory GERD. The differences seem to be reduced to a 24-month.
