Trends and Outcomes of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Between 2015 and 2018 in the USA and Canada.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
backgroundGiven there are approximately 100,000 primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) procedures performed a year in North America, there is a need to evaluate recent trends in LSG. The objective of this study was to analyze the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) to identify trends in technical factors and patient outcomes over time.
methodsThe MBSAQIP prospectively collects data from 854 centers in the USA and Canada. Patients undergoing primary LSG were included. Statistical analysis was performed to characterize trends in patient factors, technical factors, and 30-day postoperative outcomes.
resultsA total of 434,030 patients underwent primary LSG. The mean age was 44.2 (SD 12.0) years and mean body mass index was 45.1 (SD 7.8) kg/m
conclusionsFrom 2015 to 2018, there was a decrease in staple line reinforcement and oversewing. These changes correlated with reductions in operative time, length of stay, readmission, and major complications.
