Can We Predict the Perioperative Pulmonary Complications Before Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Original Research.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe increasing prevalence of obesity in worldwide is one of the most serious chronic public health problems and is considered to be a global epidemic. Bariatric surgical procedures have also been applied more often with increased prevalence of obesity. As a result, the incidence of surgical complications has increased. Preoperative evaluation is quite important for these patients.
aimsThe aim of our study is to determine the predictors of perioperative pulmonary complications of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. STUDY
designThe study is a cross-sectional study.
methodsOne hundred eighty-three consecutive patients who received laparoscopic bariatric surgery were followed up during 3 months. Patients were divided into two groups A and B. Group A being the patients who had perioperative pulmonary complications (n = 28) and group B being patients who had not (n = 155). Pulmonary function test (PFT), body mass index (BMI), preoperative oxygen saturation, age, gender, comorbid diseases, and smoking history were compared between these groups.
resultsMean age, size, weight, BMI, PFT parameters of groups A and B were close to each other. The strongest predictors of perioperative pulmonary complications were duration of smoking in current smokers and low baseline oxygen saturation.
conclusionsPreoperative oxygen saturation and smoking history may help to predict perioperative complications of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
