Midterm Outcome of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Asians: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a commonly performed bariatric surgery. Studies have suggested that LSG can provide effective and sustainable weight loss although most of them were conducted in Western populations. Our aim was to characterize the midterm outcome of LSG in Asians with obesity.
methodsMEDLINE and EMBASE were searched through August 2019 for studies that reported % total body weight loss (TBWL) and/or % excess weight loss (EWL) at 3 and/or 5 years among adult Asians with obesity who underwent LSG. Data on complications and surgical revision rate were also extracted. The pooled effect size and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random effects model.
resultsA total of 19 studies involving 6235 patients were included. The pooled mean %EWLs were 72.6% (95% CI 67.2-78.0, I
conclusionsOur meta-analysis suggests that LSG is an effective procedure for weight reduction that offers durable response for up to 5 years among Asians with obesity. The longer-term data is needed.
