1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTransumbilical single-port sleeve gastrectomy (SPSG) is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery that offers cosmetic benefits. However, the procedure's feasibility in patients with higher BMI or taller stature remains debated. This study evaluates the outcomes of SPSG based on patient height and BMI.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 753 patients who underwent stand-alone SPSG at our hospital between January 2021 and August 2024. Patients' preoperative characteristics, intraoperative data, and postoperative outcomes were collected. We compared operative times, complication rates, and postoperative length of stay between patients with different height and BMI categories.

resultsThe mean operative time was significantly longer for patients with a height ≥ 1.8 m (77.5 ± 32.5 min) compared to those < 1.8 m (63.1 ± 26.0 min) (p < 0.05). Similarly, patients with a BMI ≥ 50 kg/m

conclusionSPSG is a feasible procedure for patients with varying heights and BMIs, though it may require longer operative times for certain groups. The procedure's success hinges on the surgeon's expertise and a thorough understanding of patient anatomy. Further research is necessary to optimize single-port techniques and assess long-term outcomes.
