Effects of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy on thyroid hormones and relationship between metabolic parameters and long-term total weight loss.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2024. 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
backgroundBariatric surgery has significant effects on metabolic parameters and hormone levels. However, the specific impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on thyroid hormones and other metabolic parameters remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the short and long-term effects of LSG on thyroid hormone levels, HbA1c, and other metabolic parameters.
methodsA total of 619 euthyroid patients without a history of thyroid disease or thyroid hormone replacement therapy were included in the study. Patients with diabetes were excluded from the study. Preoperative, 1-year postoperative, and 5-year postoperative levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), HbA1c, and other metabolic parameters were recorded and analyzed.
resultsLSG resulted in significant weight loss and improvements in metabolic parameters. At 1 year postoperatively, there were significant reductions in BMI, HbA1c, TSH, fT3, and triglyceride levels, while fT4 levels increased. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between preoperative HbA1c level and percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) value at the fifth postoperative year. Additionally, a statistically significant negative correlation was found between the 5-year change in TSH and %TWL.
conclusionBeing the first study to predict long-term total weight loss based on preoperative HbA1c, it is significant. This finding has important implications for personalized patient management and could aid clinicians in identifying individuals who may benefit most from sleeve gastrectomy as a treatment modality. This is valuable in that it emphasizes multidisciplinary work, including the endocrinologist and dietician.
