Major imbalance of thyroid function after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In patients with substituted hypothyroidism, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may interfere with thyroid balance by varying body weight or by altering the absorption of hormone therapy. A 58-year-old female patient presented with a major thyroid imbalance after sleeve gastrectomy, manifesting itself in large-scale changes in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. The transition from a tablet treatment to a liquid form alleviated burden of treatment, unfortunately without normalising TSH. Our case emphasises the importance of the understanding of hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid feedback control mechanisms together with good galenic choice, management of associated conditions and the elimination of other causes of variations of TSH levels during the management of hypothyroid patients after sleeve gastrectomy.
