Decision regret and long-term weight evolution following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as bridge to kidney transplantation.
Article in Frontiers in transplantation, 2025. 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
Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is effective for rapid weight loss in kidney transplant (KT) candidates. This study aims to evaluate satisfaction or regret with the decision to undergo LSG in preparation for KT and the long-term durability of this approach to weight loss. Methods: From 2012 to 2019, all patients who underwent LSG prior to waitlisting for KT were included. The Decision Regret Scale (DRS) was assessed regarding the decision to undergo LSG before KT. The long-term weight evolution was also collected. Findings: Forty-six subjects completed the DRS survey at a median follow-up of 8 years post-LSG: 67% reported absolutely no regret, 22% mild regret, and 11% moderate to strong regret. Successful surgical weight loss was achieved in 36 patients and was significantly associated with lower levels of regret ( Conclusion: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a pre-transplantation weight loss strategy is associated with very low levels of regret, regardless of the KT status. LSG has demonstrated long-term, durable weight loss.
