Histopathological Analysis Post Sleeve Gastrectomy: Value and Correlation With Preoperative Endoscopic Findings.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the most common bariatric surgical procedures performed today. Before LSG, patients undergo an endoscopic examination to assess for any significant pathology that could affect the surgical outcome. Following LSG, the resected stomach tissue is routinely submitted for histopathological analysis, though the practice's efficacy remains debated. Furthermore, formal guidelines and recommendations for this practice are lacking. Methodology This retrospective single-center analysis was conducted at King Fahad Specialist Hospital (KFSH) in Buraydah, Al-Qassim. Following ethical approval, all patients with obesity who underwent LSG at our institution between 2017 and 2024 and whose medical records contained complete data were included in this study. Patient data meeting the inclusion criteria were then collected through a review of medical records. Data were collected using a standardized collection sheet. Results This study included 908 patients with obesity. Of the 908 patients, 547 (60.2%) were female and 361 (39.8%) were male. The vast majority, 893 (98.3%), were Saudi nationals. Participants had a mean age of 35.16 ± 13.049 years and a mean BMI of 44.08 ± 7.095 kg/m
