Left Hypochondrium or Transumbilical Single-Incision Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for the Treatment of Severe Obesity: Surgical Technique and Results of a Tertiary Referral Bariatric Center.
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 6 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
backgroundTechnical aspects of single-incision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SILSG) vary depending on surgeon's experience and availability of surgical equipment. We have performed more than 3000 SILSGs using standardized technique with left hypochondrium or transumbilical access. The aim of this study is to describe the SILSG technique in a stepwise manner providing technical tips and pitfalls for a left hypochondrium or transumbilical approach and report results of SILSG experience in a tertiary referral bariatric center.
methodsA detailed description of left hypochondrium and transumbilical SILSG is provided. Data from all consecutive patients who underwent SILSG between August 2010 and August 2017 were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed and reported.
resultsOne thousand eight hundred patients underwent SILSG, from which 384 (21.3%) using a transumbilical approach. Mean age was 42.3 years, median BMI 45.3 kg/m
conclusionsThe use of specific instruments allows standardization of left hypochondrium SILSG, which can be routinely performed for the treatment of severe obesity. Transumbilical approach for SILSG should be reserved for well-selected patients and experienced bariatric surgeons.
