Single-Anastomosis Sleeve Jejunal Bypass as a Treatment for Morbid Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Single-anastomosis sleeve jejunal (SASJ) bypass is a bariatric surgery technique with promising results. However, evidence of its efficacy and safety is still lacking. This study aimed to summarize the evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of SASJ bypass surgery in the treatment of morbid obesity. The literature was searched for English-language studies published from inception till November 26, 2023, on MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ProQuest, Scopus, SCINAPSE, and Google Scholar. The search terms included "morbid obesity," "bariatric surgery," and "single anastomosis sleeve jejunal bypass." Extracted data included the body mass index (BMI) before and after surgery, percent total weight loss (%TWL), percent excess weight loss (%EWL), and improvement in preoperative comorbidities. Pooling of the data was done using random effects or fixed-effect models based on the presence of significant heterogeneity. Nine studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The change in BMI from baseline at 12 months after SASJ bypass was significant (standardized mean difference (SMD) = -3.576, 95% confidence interval (CI) = -5.423, -1.730; I² = 99.23%). At 12 months after surgery, the pooled %TWL was 42.526 (95% CI = 37.948, 47.105; I² = 97.15%), and the pooled %EWL was 75.258 (95% CI = 67.061, 83.456; I² = 99.26%). The pooled incidence of postoperative improvement in diabetes mellitus was 91% (95% CI = 79.6%, 98%, I² = 82%). The overall rate of complications was 9.9% (95% CI = 2.5%, 21.6%; I² = 92.64%). Regarding the short- and mid-term outcomes, SASJ bypass is a safe and effective procedure for weight loss in patients with morbid obesity, with an acceptable rate of complications. The procedure is also associated with a marked improvement in obesity-related comorbidities.
