Factors influencing the choice between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundWhile laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) continues to be the most commonly performed bariatric operation, several variables influence surgeons' practice patterns and patients' decision-making in the type of bariatric procedure to perform. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient factors that influence the decision between laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) versus LSG.
methodsThe Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database was queried for patients undergoing LSG and LRYGB between 2015 and 2017. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to evaluate factors associated with performing LRYGB compared to LSG.
resultsA total of 252,117 (72.3%) LSG and 96,677 (27.7%) LRYGB cases were identified. Patients undergoing LSG were younger (44.3 ± 12.0 vs 45.2 ± 11.8 years; p < 0.01) and had a lower body mass index (BMI; 45.1 ± 7.8 vs 46.2 ± 8.1 kg/m
conclusionsThe decision to perform LRYGB is primarily driven by obesity-associated comorbidities and higher BMI, whereas LSG is more likely to be performed in higher risk patients.
