The impact of sleeve gastrectomy on pulmonary function tests and physical activity one-year after surgery.
Observational study in BMC surgery, 2025. 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
introductionObesity can adversely impact respiratory function and limit physical activity (PA). Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is an essential and uptrend treatment option for weight loss. However, the effect of SG on pulmonary function and PA in patients with obesity is still debated.
methodThis is an observational study of 32 cases with obesity (BMI 43.86 ± 4.39) who underwent SG in a single center. Spirometry was performed before and 12 months after SG to investigate the pulmonary function of individuals. The main variables were forced expiratory volume (1s) (FEV1), Forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC ratio, and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP). The correlation of weight loss variables with findings was evaluated.
resultOne year after surgery, patients lost an average of 23.42 kg (P <.001). The FEV1 and FVC were increased by 0.22 ml and 0.38 ml, respectively (p <.001). The absolute changes in FEV1 and FVS were significantly correlated with Total weight loss percentage (TWL). The 6-minute walking test (6MWT) results were significantly increased after surgery by 53.71 m (p <.001), and changes were correlated with TWL.
conclusionMore than significant weight loss, the SG can also significantly improve the respiratory function and PA of individuals with obesity 12 months after surgery. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between weight loss and modification in lung function tests. The findings required studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up times to confirm and clarify.
