Preoperative Characteristics of Adolescents Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy vs. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2026. 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
introductionSleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the predominant metabolic and bariatric surgery procedure in adolescents in the United States, whereas Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is performed less often. Although both operations are established treatment options, contemporary data clarifying how adolescents are selected for RYGB versus SG remain limited. In particular, it is unclear whether procedure choice is associated primarily with BMI, obesity-related disease burden, or demographic factors. We compared preoperative characteristics of adolescents undergoing RYGB versus SG and identified factors independently associated with RYGB.
methodsWe analyzed the 2021-2023 Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database, restricting to adolescents aged 13-18 years undergoing SG or RYGB. Demographics, BMI, obesity-related conditions, laboratory values, and procedure status were compared. Multivariable logistic regression estimated adjusted odds of RYGB.
resultsAmong 2,465 adolescents, 2,281 (92.6%) underwent SG and 184 (7.4%) underwent RYGB. RYGB patients were older (17.41 vs. 16.94 years) and more often female (79% vs. 68%). BMI distributions were similar between procedures, including preoperative BMI (48 vs. 47 kg/m²) and prevalence of BMI > 50 kg/m². GERD, hyperlipidemia, insulin-treated diabetes, any diabetes, and HbA1c were higher among RYGB patients. In the fully adjusted model, older age (OR 1.52; 95% CI 1.29-1.81), female sex, and higher associated medical problem count (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.17-1.59) were associated with RYGB, whereas BMI was not.
conclusionRYGB was uncommon and concentrated among older, predominantly female adolescents with greater metabolic burden. BMI was similar between procedures and did not independently drive procedure selection.
