Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Glycaemic Control in King Fahad Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundLaparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is an approved procedure for weight reduction in obese patients. This outcome of weight loss is essential to achieve optimal control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
objectivesThis study was designed to evaluate the effect of LSG on glycemic control among a sample of obese patients in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia, through assessment of reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) associated with weight loss following LSG.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, we studied 102 patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m
resultsThere was a 30% reduction in BMI and a 26.4% reduction in HbA1c following LSG from baseline in all patients. We noted 44 patients achieved BMI <40kg/m
conclusionsLaparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) has a positive effect on glycemic control in obese patients in short term, evidenced by the significant reduction of weight and HbA1c. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to assess the long-term impact of LSG glycemic control and the related factors associated with maintaining weight reduction and optimal glycemic control in Saudi Arabia for patients with obesity.
