Preoperative Helicobacter pylori Screening and Treatment in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe role of preoperative screening and treatment of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in asymptomatic patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) remains unclear. This study aims to define the preoperative prevalence and management of HP and their effect on postoperative outcomes at our institution. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed the medical records and surgical specimens of all LSG performed at an academic centre in Toronto, ON between 2010 and 2017.
resultsReview of our institutional database identified 222 patients that underwent LSG, of which 200 had preoperative HP screening: 18% tested positive and 15% were treated. Seven surgical specimens were HP-positive (3.2%). No association was found between preoperative HP status, treatment or HP-positive specimen and postoperative complications at 1 year.
conclusionAlthough preoperative screening and treatment likely reduce the prevalence of HP in LSG specimens, our findings suggest that they may be of limited clinical value in LSG as they have little influence on surgical morbidity.
