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

backgroundSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most commonly performed metabolic and bariatric surgery, yet literature on long-term outcomes, including weight loss durability and safety, remains limited.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study examined patients from 3 bariatric centers of excellence undergoing SG from 2010 to 2014 to allow for 10 years of follow-up period. Baseline characteristics, annual weight and body mass index (BMI), obesity-related medical conditions resolution and recurrence, and complications were documented. Statistical methods included paired t-test, Kaplan-Meier curve, and multivariate regression.

resultsA total of 830 patients (73.3% female, mean age 45.6 ± 11.6, mean preoperative BMI 45.6 ± 7.8 kg/m

conclusionOverall, SG demonstrates relatively favorable long-term outcomes, but the notable rates of recurrent weight gain raise concern regarding its durability. KEY POINTS: Sleeve gastrectomy resulted in significant weight loss, with a peak at 24 months. 57.5-63.9% of the cohort had recurrent weight gain; 10.1% required revision surgery. SG counseling must include long-term outcomes and potential need for revision.
