Reduced Port Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This systematic review evaluated the safety and efficacy of reduced port laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and compared its potential advantages over the conventional laparoscopic approach. Eighteen eligible articles were analyzed, including thirteen cohort studies and five randomized trials (n = 2945). There were no differences in total postoperative complications [OR of 0.99 (0.72 to 1.37)] nor those classified as Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIb. There were also no differences regarding operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain, weight loss, and improvement in comorbidities. In the reduced port group, hospital stay was slightly shorter [WDM of - 0.23 (- 0.39 to - 0.07)], and cosmetic results were better in the short term. Our meta-analysis shows reduced port sleeve gastrectomy can be safely performed in selected patients, although clinical benefits are unclear (PROSPERO (CRD42022372829)).
