Association of Weight Loss with Gallstone Formation Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 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
backgroundSleeve gastrectomy has become a widely performed metabolic bariatric procedure for managing obesity. However, rapid weight loss after SG has been associated with the formation of de novo gallstones. Understanding this relationship is critical for optimizing patient outcomes.
objectiveTo assess the association between weight loss and de novo gallstone formation in adults undergoing SG.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 386 adults who underwent SG at a private clinic in Lima, Peru, and were followed for 12 months. Gallstone formation was defined as the presence of stones in the gallbladder confirmed by abdominal ultrasound with no prior evidence before surgery. Weight loss markers included absolute weight loss (AWL), percentage of excess weight loss (PEWL), absolute BMI loss (ABMIL), and percentage of excess BMI loss (PEBMIL). Relative risks (RR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using generalized linear models from the Poisson family with a logarithmic link function and robust variances.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 36.4 years, and 68.1% were female. The means for AWL, PEWL, ABMIL, and PEBMIL were 29.1 kg, 28.1%, 10.7 kg/m
conclusionMarkers of absolute weight loss, percentage of excess weight loss, absolute BMI loss, and percentage of excess BMI loss were not associated with post-sleeve gastrectomy gallstone formation.
