Liver transplantation and bariatric surgery: a new surgical reality: a systematic review of the best time for bariatric surgery.
Synthesis in Updates in surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06060847 (Liver Resection and Simultaneous Sleeve Gastrectomy for HCC Related to Metabolic Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has increased in parallel with the obesity. This situation represents a new reality for patients with an indication for liver transplant (LT) and bariatric surgery (BS). We undertook a systematic review of BS and LT using the terms 'liver transplant', 'obesity' and 'bariatric surgery'. The variables analyzed were number of patients, technique and timing of BS, surgical complications, follow-up and mortality. A total of 190 papers were identified and, 28 articles were discussed (6 papers with BS before a LT, 6 with both procedures simultaneously and 16 studies with BS after a LT). In the last 7 years, 22 of the 28 papers (78.6%) were published on this subject. A total of 144 patients had both procedures: 27 (18.8%) before, 42 (29.1%) simultaneously and 75 (52.1%) after. Sleeve gastrectomy was the most performed BS (121 cases-84%) followed by a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (20 cases-13.9%). The number of publications has increased substantially in recent years. The majority papers of BS after LT could be explained because of commodity of the flow of these patients. The best moment to perform BS in these patients has yet to be established.
