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
Purpose: The rising rates of obesity across the United States, particularly among pediatric and elderly patients, have led to more bariatric surgeries among these populations. Previous studies have compared the outcomes between pediatric or elderly patients and adult patients, but none have studied all groups together. Therefore, we compared the outcomes of all three age groups following a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Methods: The 2022 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) was utilized to identify pediatric (aged 13-17 years, n = 333), adult (aged 18-65 years, n = 118,444), and elderly (aged 66-80 years, n = 5,646) patients. Analyses were performed with the adult cohort serving as the reference group. Results: Postoperatively, the elderly cohort experienced higher rates of mortality and complications, including sepsis, reoperations, and readmissions. Preoperatively, the elderly cohort also had higher rates of comorbidities, including sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and hypertension. After controlling for all variables, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that being pediatric, male, or having a preoperative body mass index (BMI) ≥45 kg/m Conclusion: These findings highlight the varying clinical outcomes among age groups of patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The pediatric cohort saw the most significant decrease in postoperative BMI with minimal complications, while the elderly cohort saw the opposite trend.
