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

We aimed to assess the impact of Helicobacter pylori infection on postoperative outcomes following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). We searched Cochrane, Scopus, and PubMed databases, reviewed 1026 studies, and thoroughly analyzed 42 of them. Our final analysis included 13 studies comprising 6199 patients. We found that H. pylori infection was correlated with higher rates of risk of overall postoperative complications (OR 1.56; 95% CI 1.13, 2.16; P = 0.007) and staple line leak (OR 1.89; 95% CI 1.05, 3.41; P = 0.03). There were no significant differences in hospital length of stay or postoperative bleeding rates. Despite observed correlations between H. pylori positivity in gastric specimen and postoperative complications in LSG, definitive causation remains elusive, emphasizing the need for prospective randomized studies evaluating the effect of preoperative H. pylori screening and eradication.
