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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) on the safety profile and metabolic parameter improvement in adolescents (10‒17 years-old) with grade IV obesity (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m
methodsFrom May 2023 to September 2024, a total of 60 adolescent patients with grade IV obesity who underwent LSG at the Department of Bariatric and Metabolic Diseases, The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, were enrolled as the initial study cohort. Observations and statistics were collected on surgical-related complications, body weight, (Body Mass Index) BMI, glucose metabolism indicators, lipid metabolism indicators, liver function, and nutritional status to analyze the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
resultsA total of 60 adolescent patients successfully underwent LSG without conversion to open surgery or perioperative mortality. During postoperative follow-up, only 31 patients completed regular assessments with complete data available for analysis. There were no perioperative period complications such as postoperative hemorrhage or gastric leak. Follow-up assessments at 3-months, 6-months, and 1-year postoperatively revealed significant improvements (p < 0.05) in the following parameters: body weight .[preoperative (154.1 ± 19.3) kg, 1-year postoperative (97.8 ± 13.6) kg], BMI .[preoperative (51.9 ± 3.8) kg/m
conclusionLSG is a safe and effective procedure for improving metabolic disorders in adolescent patients with grade IV obesity, with confirmed short-term efficacy. However, the widespread declining trend in postoperative nutritional indicators underscores that systematic nutritional monitoring and intervention must be a core component of postoperative management in clinical practice to achieve long-term health benefits.
