Metabolic/bariatric clinical practice in Lagos, Nigeria: a retrospective review of the cases and outcomes of our 10-year experience.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Obesity is recognized as a major public health hazard, as it is linked to multiple chronic diseases. Globally, metabolic or bariatric surgery has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for obesity, yet access to metabolic or bariatric surgery in Nigeria, West Africa continues to be limited. This study reviews the ten-year experience of an individual bariatric surgeon and his team in Nigeria. The patient database was used to collate and record all patient specific information. This database was then accessed to extract required information on patients treated in our specialist clinics between January 2012 and June 2022. There were a total of 381 consecutive patients. The mean age was 41.4 years (+/- 9.1). Females made up 314 (82.4%) in the cohort. Mean initial body mass index (BMI) was 42.4kg/m
