Long-Term Outcome of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) on Weight Loss in Patients with Obesity: a 5-Year and 11-Year Follow-Up Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBariatric surgery is the most efficient treatment for patients with clinically severe obesity who have failed to obtain satisfactory weight loss through lifestyle modification and medical treatments. This study aimed to present our long-term laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) efficacy in terms of weight loss and obesity-related complications resolution. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective study that was based on prospectively collected data from patients undergoing LSG by the same surgeon from July 2011 to the end of August 2022. The LSG-associated short-term (at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively) and long-term (at 5 years and 11 years postoperatively) weight loss, and the short-term (6 months postoperatively) and long-term (5 and 11 years postoperatively) rates of obesity-related complications were assessed.
resultsThis study included 892 patients who underwent LSG over 11 years. At the 1-year follow-up, data on 860 patients were available, while at the 5-year and 11-year follow-ups, data on 193 patients and 48 patients, respectively, were available. The mean EBWL% was 84.57 ± 18.41%, 64.22 ± 15.53%, and 66.01 ± 8.66% at the 1-year, 5-year, and 11-year follow-ups, respectively.
conclusionThis study adds new evidence concerning the short-term efficacy of LSG. The long-term assessment showed relatively sustainable weight loss and obesity-related complications resolution, with a regression of the short-term gains that was still far from the baseline burden.
