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
Purpose: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is now frequently performed as a definitive bariatric procedure. The aim of the study was to evaluate the detailed morphology of remnant stomachs after SG with respect to volume and sleeve migration. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data on patients that completed a 12-month postop examination, which included CT volumetry of sleeve, and a questionnaire that addressed postop food tolerance. CT volumetry study included total sleeve volume (TSV), tube volume (TV), antral volume (AV), tube/antral volume ratio (TAVR), and the presence of intrathoracic sleeve migration (ITSM). Results: Fifty-five patients were included in this retrospective study. Mean %TWL (% total weight loss) at 12 months postop was 32.8% (14.3-55.5), and mean TSV, TV, AV, and TAVR were 166.6±63.3 ml, 68.9±35.4 ml, 97.7±42.9 ml, and 0.8±0.6 respectively. TSV was not correlated significantly with %TWL at 12 months postop (r=-0.069, P=0.619). Fourteen patients (14/55, 25.5%) showed ITSM by CT. Patients with ITSM had a significantly lower mean GER score (5.1±2.0 vs. 7.3±2.0, P=0.001), a lower total food tolerance score (21.6±3.8 vs. 24.4±4.6, P=0.048), and a higher proportion showed suboptimal weight loss (35.7% vs. 9.8%, P=0.023). Conclusion: Mean TSV was not found to be significantly correlated with %TWL at 12 months postop. Patients with suboptimal weight loss had higher mean TAVR, and the presence of ITSM indicated more frequent GER symptoms, lower food tolerance, and a higher probability of suboptimal weight loss.
