The Therapeutic Effectiveness of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Among Individuals with Low BMI Obesity (30-35 Kg/m
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: Investigating the therapeutic efficacy of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) in low BMI (30-35 kg/m Methods: Comparing the weight loss, remission of comorbidities, occurrence of complications, and quality of life among the different BMI patients who underwent LSG. Analyzing the relationship between BMI and percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) by using Spearman correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. Results: The %EWL at 12 months after the surgical procedure was (104.26±16.41)%, (90.36±9.98)%, and (78.30±14.64)% for patients with Class I, II, and III obesity, respectively, P<0.05. Spearman correlation coefficients between %EWL and BMI at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery were R=-0.334 (P<0.001), R=-0.389 (P<0.001), and R=-0.442 (P<0.001), R=-0.641 (P<0.001), respectively. The remission of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Individuals with obesity for varying BMI can experience favorable outcomes following LSG surgery. It is advisable to consider LSG treatment for patients with Class I obesity.
