Sleeve Gastrectomy is Associated with Longitudinal Improvements in Lung Function and Patient-Reported Respiratory Outcomes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
purposeObesity exerts negative effects on pulmonary function through proven mechanical and biochemical pathways. Multiple studies have suggested that bariatric surgery can improve lung function. However, the timing of these effects on lung function and its association with patient reported outcomes is not known. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective cohort study of patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at a tertiary care hospital was undertaken. Spirometry tests, laboratory tests, and self-reported questionnaires on asthma symptoms and asthma control (ACQ and ACT) were administered. All data were recorded pre-operatively (T0) and every 3 months post-operatively for 1 year (T3, T6, T9, T12) and were compared using a mixed-models approach for repeated measures.
resultsFor the 23 participants, mean age was 44.2 ± 12.3 years, mean BMI was 45.2 ± 7.2 kg/m
conclusionImprovements in objective lung function assessments and patient-reported respiratory outcomes begin as early as 3 months and continue until 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy.
