Weight Loss as the First-Line Therapy in Patients with Severe Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: the Role of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
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 12 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
purposeThe objective of this study is to investigate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the polysomnographic parameters related to OSAS. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted this 3-year prospective cohort study in a tertiary care center between December 2016 and December 2019. In total, we enrolled 31 patients with severe obesity who underwent full-night polysomnography (PSG) before LSG. Later, the patients were re-evaluated by full-night PSG 12 months after the surgery.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 44.1 ± 9.6 years. The mean body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly from a mean value of 49.8 ± 8.5 kg/m
conclusionThe results of this study showed that weight loss after LSG yields improvement not only in AHI but also in many polysomnographic parameters such as sleep quality and desaturation indices.
