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

Aim: To investigate the effect of weight loss and metabolic improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in older adults aged 65 years or over compared with younger adults in a retrospective analysis. Methods: The J-SMART study database of 322 Japanese individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m Results: Baseline data for the ≥65 vs. <65 age groups were: median age 67 years vs. 45 years; weight 92.7 kg vs. 114.4 kg; BMI 40.0 kg/m Conclusion: LSG may be an efficacious option for improving obesity-related health problems in older adults. However, postoperative safety and complications were not evaluated in this study and further research is needed. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13340-024-00767-w.
