The impact of Helicobacter pylori on the complications of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

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
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a very common bacterium present in the gastric tissue of up to 50 % of people, and the mucosal damage it causes can predispose to multiple comorbid conditions. This study aims to observe the prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and its correlation with postoperative complications. A retrospective study was done on the gastric pathology specimen results of 682 patients who underwent LSG at Amiri Hospital from 2008 to 2012. Symptomatic patients had preoperative upper gastrointestinal endoscopies (UGIEs) based on the decision of the treating surgeon, along with campylobacter-like organism test (CLO test) for H. pylori detection. The intraoperatively excised gastric specimen was sent for histopathological assessment of H. pylori, and the patients were followed up for complications. Of the 682 patients, 629 (92.2 %) were found to be H. pylori negative intraoperatively, while 53 (7.8 %) were positive. A total of 32 (4.7 %) patients were found to have postoperative complications, of which 2 (6.3 %) had H. pylori intraoperatively. No statistical significance (p = 0.71), however, was seen between the overall complication rate and H. pylori. Specifically, there were five (0.7 %) cases of leak and eight (1.2 %) cases of neuropathy, both of which were not significantly associated with H. pylori (p = 0.33 and p = 0.12, respectively). All the other complications had no evidence of H. pylori. There appears to be no association between H. pylori infection and post-LSG complications.
