Does Omentopexy Make a Difference in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for Obesity Treatment? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the comparative outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with omentopexy (LSGO) versus conventional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obesity treatment. A systematic online search was conducted using the available online databases, and Revman software was used for data analysis. Twenty-two eligible comparative studies were included (n = 9,321). LSGO showed a significantly lower rate of gastric leak (P = 0.0001), staple line bleeding (P = 0.00001), and gastric torsion (P = 0.002) in comparison to the LSG group. Operative time was significantly shorter in the LSG group (P = 0.00001); however, the length of hospital stay was in favour of the LSGO (P = 0.00001). Compared to LSG without omentopexy, LSG with omentopexy provides a significantly lower rate of postoperative complications and shorter LOS at the expense of operative time.
