Efficacy of Omentopexy on Complications of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
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 4 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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a commonly performed type of bariatric surgery. Early complications of LSG include bleeding, leakage, pulmonary embolism, and surgical site infections. Most surgeons try to implement preventive methods, such as omentopexy. Staple line-imbrication, which has a difficult learning curve, often prevents complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of omentopexy on patients with imbricated LSG. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study applied a retrospective data analysis design to patients who underwent LSG between 2020 and 2023. All patients' staple lines were imbricated, and patients were then divided into two groups: omentopexy group and control group. Patients' demographic features, such as age, gender, height, weight, body mass index(BMI), bleeding, leakage, and reoperations, were recorded and examined retrospectively.
resultsA total of 1356 patients were included in the study (540 in omentopexy, 816 in control), of which the mean age was 37.9 ± 10.5 years, 82.3% were women, and mean BMI was 40.9 ± 5.8 kg/m
conclusionOmentopexy is a technique that is widely used to prevent staple line complications. According to our study, omentopexy applied to an imbricated stapler line increased the operation time but did not affect bleeding or leakage ratios. This is the first study to evaluate the effect of omentopexy on imbricated staple lines. The findings of the study indicate that omentopexy has no additional benefit on early complications when using staple-line imbrication.
