Effect of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Platelet Counts and Mean Platelet Volumes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
backgroundObesity is a chronic metabolic disorder associated with cardiovascular disease, characterized by a chronic proinflammatory and prothrombotic state. The size and hemostatic potential of circulating platelets (PLTs) differ, with larger PLTs containing more granules and producing greater amounts of vasoactive and prothrombotic factors. This study aimed to investigate the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on PLT count and mean platelet volume (MPV) in morbidly obese patients.
methodsTwo hundred five patients (females, n = 143; males, n = 62) who attended monitoring visits in the period prior to LSG and for 6 months after surgery were included in this study. Routine physical examination findings and laboratory parameters recorded preoperatively were compared with the same parameters in the postoperative 6th month.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 37.36 ± 10.93 years. The mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) of the patients was 47.65 kg/m
conclusionsThe results demonstrated that PLT counts decreased and MPV levels increased significantly after LSG and that the decrease in PLT counts was independent of changes in BMI.
