The Effects of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Obesity-Related Hypertriglyceridemia-Induced Acute Pancreatitis.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundHypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is a significant clinical problem and is characterized by high recurrence rate compared with non-HTG-AP. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on obesity-related HTG-AP.
methodsTwenty-nine patients with obesity-related HTG-AP were admitted to our hospital and treated with the conventional therapy or LSG surgery according to the wishes of patients. Clinical data and the recurrence rate of AP were collected at baseline and at four different time points (3, 6, 9, and 12 months) after the treatments for all patients.
resultsOf the 29 patients, 28 patients (19 patients with conventional therapy and 9 patients with LSG surgery) completed the 12-month follow-up. Clinical data and the severity scores of AP were comparable at baseline when the patients were admitted to the intensive care unit. The LSG group experienced a large weight loss (percent total weight loss, 26.87 ± 1.44%; percent excess weight loss, 79.56 ± 1.37%) and triglyceride reduction (from 15.77 ± 1.02 to 1.36 ± 0.09 mmol/L), and no recurrence was observed at 12 months after the surgery. In the conventional treatment group, however, body weight was not changed although triglyceride was significantly decreased (from 17.34 ± 1.29 to 8.25 ± 1.12 mmol/L), and more importantly, 47.4% of the patients had at least one recurrence of AP in 12 months after the treatment.
conclusionsLSG might be an effective way to cure obesity-related HTG-induced AP since it prevents the recurrence of this disease. Further randomized studies will be needed to standardize this way of treatment.
