Predictive factors of gallstone formation after sleeve gastrectomy: a multivariate analysis of risk factors.

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
purposeObesity and bariatric surgery are both risk factors for cholelithiasis (CL). However, most previous studies have focused on Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and limited published data are available for sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
methodsPatients were evaluated in two groups depending on the presence of gallstones (Group I, present; Group II, absent). Demographic characteristics, comorbid diseases, pre-operative blood values, and early and late weight loss rates were compared between the groups.
resultsThe study included 111 patients with a mean age of 38.9. The mean follow-up period was 20.6 (12-39) months. During follow-up, gallstone formation was observed in 36.9% (n = 41) of patients. Thirteen patients (31.8%) had symptomatic cholelithiasis that was resolved with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The mean interval between sleeve gastrectomy and the detection of cholelithiasis was 210 days and the mean time of post-operative cholecystectomy was 540 days. A multivariate analysis showed that only dyslipidemia was independently and significantly associated with gallstone formation. There was no significant difference in the weight loss rate between the groups.
conclusionsAlthough CL development was found to be associated with rapid weight loss in several published studies in post-SG patients, the present study showed no significant difference between the groups in terms of early or late weight loss. Pre-operative dyslipidemia may be associated with an increased risk of developing CL.
