Effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy vs laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on weight loss in Egyptian patients with morbid obesity.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundBariatric surgical operation is taken into consideration to be the handiest remedy for extreme obesity. Durability is the main requirement for the broad usage of bariatric surgery. According to several factors, the present work tries to match the SG and RYGB techniques.
methodsThis is a retrospective work that studied 200 morbid obese patients randomized and categorized into two groups according to the treatment method: the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and LRYGB groups, within the period from 2014 to 2019 and matched weight dissipation, complications, quality of life, and adverse events.
resultsBMI had a mean value of 39.66 ± 3.770 kg/m2 in the RYGB group versus 39.38 ± 3.648 kg/m2. No significant differences were found according to comorbidity, height, and weight. There was no significant difference between the study groups according to complications and morbidity-no recorded unexpected histopathology results in the excised LSG specimens.
conclusionThere was no significant change in weight dissipation, fluctuations in comorbidities, increase in Quality of Life (QoL), and complications for pathological obesity patients according to the treatment methods of laparoscopic SG (sleeve gastrectomy) and RYGB at 2-years postoperative follow-up.
