1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Despite the growing popularity of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) for managing severe obesity in children, adolescents, and adults, there is a paucity of studies reporting the effects of SG on metabolic and hormonal outcomes in pediatric populations. Methodology: In this single-centre, retrospective study, we assessed nutritional biomarkers (hemoglobin, ferritin, iron profile, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and calcium), glucose homeostasis indicators (C-peptide, HbA1C, and random blood glucose), blood lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol components), hormones involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone), and thyroid hormones (T3, T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and parathyroid hormone) preoperatively and 12-month after SG in children aged 5-15 years. Results: This study included 64 adolescents (mean age = 11.2 ± 2.3 years) who underwent laparoscopic SG. Significant reduction in circulatory C-peptide (-62.1%; Conclusions: Consistent with prior literature, our study demonstrates improvement or resolution of diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia in the year following SG. However, given that blood cholesterol components, nutritional biomarkers, and thyroid profiles remained unchanged warrants long-term monitoring of nutritional, metabolic, and endocrine factors in adolescents undergoing laparoscopic SG. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the effects of SG on thyroid and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hormones in pediatric populations.
