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
introductionBariatric surgery effectively contributes to substantial weight loss and improvement of obesity‑related comorbidities. Establishing new bariatric programs, particularly in hospitals without intensive care units, requires tailored implementation strategies and careful resource planning to ensure both safety and efficacy.
aimThe aim of this study was to retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy outcomes of a newly implemented bariatric program the Military Institute of Aviation Medicine. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study evaluated all bariatric surgeries (n = 267) performed between September 2021 and December 2024 at our hospital following the establishment of a comprehensive bariatric program. The program included surgeon training, multidisciplinary team formation, protocol development, and infrastructure modifications. Patient demographics, operative details, complications, weight loss outcomes, and resolution of comorbidities were analyzed.
resultLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was the predominant procedure (85.77%), followed by laparoscopic Roux‑en‑Y gastric bypass (LRYGB, 13.86%). Mean (SD) operative time was 145 (35) minutes for LRYGB and 77 (19) minutes for LSG. Overall, 93.1% of the patients had no complications, with the rate of serious complications requiring surgical intervention (Clavien-Dindo grade IIIB) decreasing from 7.69% in 2021 to 0.97% in 2024. No mortalities occurred. Among the 112 patients (68.3%) with available follow‑up data, mean (SD) percentage of total weight loss was 29.61% (12.08%) for LRYGB and 25.92% (10.57%) for LSG. High rates of comorbidity resolution were observed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (90.91%), hypertension (65.79%), dyslipidemia (70%), and metabolic syndrome (91.67%).
conclusionWith careful planning, comprehensive team training, and adherence to established protocols, a new bariatric surgery program can achieve excellent safety and effectiveness outcomes from inception. The results validate our approach to program development and patient care.
