Peri-Operative Glycemic Dynamics in a Chinese Patient With Type 2 Diabetes Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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 and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are prevalent issues in China. Bariatric and metabolic surgery, by reducing the size of the stomach through the removal of a portion of the stomach using laparoscopy (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG)), induces the remarkable remission of T2D inpatients. Plasma glucose (PG) was reported to be at a lower than normal level in Caucasian patients a few weeks after surgery, which is not well-documented in Chinese patients who have a lower body mass index (BMI) compared to Caucasians. Thus, we adopted the use of a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in a Chinese patient to monitor postoperative glucose levels. We found that the level of PG lowered to the normal range four days after LSG surgery while weight loss was not significantly reduced. It is indicated that the main mechanism of LSG inducing remission of T2DM is the limitation of food intake in addition to the imbalance of a few gastrointestinal hormones such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), Ghrelin. The lower the BMI, the lower the adipose tissue, and the faster the decrease in PG after bariatric and metabolic surgery.
