Glycemic Control in the era of bariatric surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies on the Saudi-Arabian population.
Review in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We aim in our systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize and evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) as two types of bariatric surgery in reducing the body mass index (BMI) and controlling the glycemic state in obese, diabetic patients. Our systematic review and meta-analysis (MA) were carried out according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for randomized studies. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane library for included studies. We chose randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the efficacy of LSG and RYGB in controlling the glycemic state in obese patients; then we used Review Manager software to pool the outcomes of our MA. Three RCTs were included in our meta-analysis. The outcomes evaluated were BMI and HbA1C. As for the BMI, the results were significant and favor LSG and RYGB post-operatively as follows: mean difference (MD) 0.30; confidence interval (CI) 0.07-0.54;
