Characteristics of morbid obese patients with high-risk cardiac disease undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionBariatric surgery is an efficient and safe method of weight reduction among patients who have morbid obesity which cannot be treated by the conservative approach. Safety and feasibility of bariatric surgery among high-risk patients are understudied. Therefore, we aimed to report the patient-level characteristics and outcome among high-risk obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery in Saudi Arabia.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed among 13 morbidly obese (BMI >39 kg/m
resultsA total of 13 patients were included in the analysis. Of the total, 61.5% were males with a mean age 40.38 (SD: 16.28) and a mean BMI 51.87 (SD: 7.69). The mean duration of surgery was 33.30 min (SD: 31.01), while the mean duration of anesthesia was 83.61 min (SD: 34.73). The mean length of stay was 6.76 days (SD: 3.89). Three patients required postoperative HDU admission with a mean length of stay of 1 day, while 5 patients required postoperative ICU admission with a length of stay ranging from 1 to 3 days. Within 30 days after discharge, only 1 patient required ER visit and none of the patients reported any postoperative morbidity and mortality.
conclusionThrough this study, we can conclude that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery can be considered a safe procedure. However, further studies with a large sample size and a more robust methodology are needed to build upon the findings of this study.
