The Role of Thromboprophylaxis in Patients with Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Life-Threatening Complication after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Following 8 Years of Experience in a Bariatric Center of Excellence.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Porto-mesenteric vein thrombosis (PVMT) is a rare but life-threatening complication after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is considered the most common procedure for efficiently realizing weight loss and treating obesity-related co-morbidities. This study aimed to shed light on this relatively rare complication by presenting a series of patients who developed PMVT after LSG in light of the need to change the specific protocol of thromboprophylaxis in bariatric patients. We proposed to answer two questions: whether we should perform a thrombophilia workup as a standard practice and whether we should extend chemoprophylaxis to more than 3 weeks among all bariatric patients. This study also aimed to investigate the possible risk factors and eventually present our updated protocol for PMVT management and prophylaxis.
