Early Weight Loss Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Is Predictive of Long-Term Weight Loss in Morbidly Obese Chinese.
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 9 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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a bariatric surgical approach often used to treat Chinese individuals suffering from morbid obesity.
objectivesTo verify the long-term safety and efficiency of LSG and to evaluate the predictive effect of initial weight loss on long-term weight maintenance after LSG in morbidly obese Chinese.
methodsFollow-up was conducted by telephone or in hospital. We measured the body mass index (BMI), percentage of total body weight loss (%TWL), and excess weight loss (%EWL), and assessed patients for the alleviation of co-morbidities. Relationships between initial weight loss and successful weight maintenance were assessed via linear regression analyses, while optimal cutoff values were determined based on receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsWe included 384 patients in this study. Before surgery, these patients had median weight and BMI values of 110 (91.00-130.75) kg and 38.49 (32.82-44.12) kg/m
conclusionLSG has long-term safety and efficacy for morbidly obese Chinese patients. The %EWL at 6 months can be used to predict weight maintenance up to 5 years after LSG.
