Portomesenteric Vein Thrombosis Post-Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Case Series and Literature Review.
Review in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is today one of the leading procedures in bariatric surgery, and portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT) has been reported as one of its rare complications. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence, clinical presentation, and outcomes of PMVT in patients undergoing LSG.
methodsA retrospective study of a database of all post-LSG patients was conducted on the patients who developed PMVT post-LSG from July 2011 to March 2016, at Amiri Hospital, Kuwait.
resultsA total of 2280 patients underwent LSG during the study period. Nine (0.39%) patients were diagnosed with PMVT post-LSG. Diagnosis was confirmed by CT scan for eight patients, and one had urgent laparotomy. The median age was 34 years (20-50), and there were 7 women and 2 men. Median preoperative body mass index (BMI) was 42 kg/m
conclusionsPMVT post-LSG is a rare but possibly dangerous complication. It should be suspected with patients presenting with unresolving abdominal pain. Treatment is mainly conservative and surgical intervention might be needed for small bowel necrosis. Extended anticoagulation prophylaxis is a hypothesis for patients after LSG, and may play a role in preventing PMVT.
