The Outcomes of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for the Treatment of Obesity: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundObesity is a long-standing health issue in Saudi Arabia, known to be associated with various complications. The management of obesity encompasses both non-surgical and surgical interventions, such as sleeve gastrectomy. Although sleeve gastrectomy is one of the effective options for individuals with morbid obesity, it is not without potential complications. This study aims to examine the outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
methodsA descriptive, retrospective study was conducted on adult patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at King Fahad General Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between January 2017 and July 2022.
resultsAmong the 561 adult patients in the study, 53.5% were classified as having class III obesity, and 74.2% had comorbidities. Complications observed following the procedure included leaking (3.2%), symptomatic gallstone disease (2.9%), internal hernia (1.8%), and readmission (2.1%). There were no cases of bleeding, aspiration pneumonia, or mortality reported. Leakage and gallstone disease were more prevalent among patients classified as class I and II obesity, respectively, while internal hernia and readmission were more frequently observed in patients with class III obesity.
conclusionLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a viable procedure for managing obesity, as it is associated with minimal complications and no recorded mortality.
