1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study assessed the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in Chinese individuals with a body mass index (BMI) under 35 kg/m

methodsPatients whose BMI < 35 kg/m

resultsIn total, 143 individuals with average preoperative weight and BMI values of 88 (82, 95) kg and 31.99 (29.41, 33.15) kg/m

conclusionLSG had long-term safety and efficacy, and %TWL at 3 months can predict sustained 5-year weight loss in Chinese individuals with BMI < 35 kg/m
