Evaluation of the Trends, Characteristics, and Outcomes in North American Youth Undergoing Elective Bariatric Surgery.
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 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundSevere obesity is increasingly common in youth and young adults, but outcomes following bariatric surgery remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the trends, clinical characteristics, and postoperative outcomes of youth who underwent bariatric surgery.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) data registry from 2015 to 2018 inclusive. All youth and young adults aged 15-24 who underwent elective sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were included. Bivariate analysis of trends, clinical characteristics, and postoperative outcomes was performed using Chi-squared tests for categorical variables and independent two sample t test for continuous variables. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to determine patient and operative factors predictive of serious complications.
resultsA total of 21,592 youth and young adults underwent bariatric surgery during the study time frame, representing 3.7% of total cases (n = 583,567) within the MBSAQIP. The cohort had a mean age of 21.5 ± 2.0 years and a mean BMI of 47.2 ± 8.0 kg/m
conclusionBariatric surgery in youth is safe but comprised only 3.7% of total MBSAQIP cases from 2015 to 2018. These data should serve as a call to government and healthcare agencies to develop policies and strategies that prioritize bariatric surgery for young people living with severe obesity.
