Early Effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy and Laparoscopic One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass on Portal Venous Flow: a Prospective Cohort Study.
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 4 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
backgroundPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an infrequent, yet potentially lethal, complication of bariatric surgery. The aim of this prospective, non-randomized, cohort study is to compare between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass (LOAGB) in terms of their early postoperative effects on portal venous flow and patency.
methodsForty-nine morbidly obese patients were allocated to one of 2 groups (A or B). Group A patients underwent LSG, whereas group B patients underwent LOAGB. Portal venous Doppler ultrasound scanning was performed preoperatively and 2 weeks postoperatively in all cases, in order to assess the portal venous flow (PVF) in terms of flow direction and peak systolic velocity (PSV); as well as to assess the portal venous patency and exclude PVT. The mean change in PSV (ΔPSV) and the mean percentage change in PSV (%ΔPSV) were determined in both groups.
resultsIn all cases (group A (n = 26); group B (n = 23)), the direction of PVF was "hepatopetal" both preoperatively and 2 weeks postoperatively. The mean ΔPSV and the mean %ΔPSV were higher in LSG patients "group A" (- 0.84 cm/s and 3.25% respectively) compared with LOAGB patients "group B"(- 0.06 cm/s and 0.27% respectively); P = 0.038 and 0.039 respectively. The mean change in PSV was in the negative direction in both groups, i.e., "deceleration." No cases of PVT were reported in the study.
conclusionsLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is associated with greater reduction in portal venous peak systolic flow velocity in the early postoperative period, compared with laparoscopic one-anastomosis gastric bypass.
