Beyond the decade: unveiling long-term weight and co-morbidity outcomes up to 10 years post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionDespite its effectiveness, long-term data on the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for morbid obesity are sparce.
methodsWe collected data through phone interviews and hospital records for patients who had LSG, including those that then underwent revisional bariatric surgery, assessing their weight outcomes, associated health conditions, and complications.
results2982 patients (72% female) were included in the study, with a maximum follow-up reached of 13 years. The mean pre-operative age and body mass index (BMI) were 34.7 ± 11.3 years and 45.5 ± 7.7 kg/m2, respectively. The prevalence of obesity classes were as follows: Class I, 3.1%; Class II, 19.2%; and Class III, 75.9%. BMI at nadir was 32.35 Kg/m2 equating to a mean nadir excess weight loss (EWL) of 67.03%. Weight outcomes at 13 years post-LSG showed a mean BMI of 31.83 kg/m
conclusionLSG demonstrates sustained weight loss and resolution of comorbidities with low complication rates. The influence of initial obesity class on weight loss was found to be significant in the first 18 months post-LSG.
