Safety and efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with portal hypertension with liver function of Childs A.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. 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
introductionAdvanced liver disease and portal hypertension (PH) are seen as a relative contraindication for bariatric and metabolic surgery. Several studies have shown significant improvement in liver function and liver histology after bariatric surgery. There are very few studies describing bariatric surgery in patients with PH. The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the feasibility and results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in patients with PH. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe present our experience of performing laparoscopic SG in 15 patients with evidence of PH. All the patients were Childs Pugh Criteria A. PH was confirmed by the presence of dilated esophageal varices on endoscopy.
resultsThe mean operative time was 77.33 ± 15.22 min and mean blood loss was 80.67 ± 37.12 ml. The mean length of stay was 2.73 ± 0.59 days. There were no intraoperative or immediate postoperative complications. None of the patients required blood transfusion in the postoperative period. The weight, BMI, Excess body weight loss% (EBWL%), Total weight loss (TWL) and TWL% at 1 year were 86.05 ± 14.40 kg, 31.16 kg/m
conclusionSG is a feasible and safe option for the treatment of obesity in carefully selected patients with PH with good weight loss and comorbidity resolution.
