Establishment of a novel weight reduction model after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy based on abdominal fat area.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In light of ongoing research elucidating the intricacies of obesity and metabolic syndrome, the role of abdominal fat (especially visceral fat) has been particularly prominent. Studies have revealed that visceral adipose tissue can accelerate the development of metabolic syndrome by releasing various bioactive compounds and hormones, such as lipocalin, leptin and interleukin. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 167 patients with obesity. Among them, 105 patients who satisfied predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. The parameters evaluated included total abdominal fat area (TAFA), laboratory indicators and anthropometric measurements. Weight reduction was quantified through percent total weight loss (%TWL) and percent excess weight loss (%EWL) postoperatively. Binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were employed to identify predictors of weight loss. Binary logistic regression analysis emphasized that total abdominal fat area was an independent predictor of %EWL ≥75% (
