Optimal Thromboprophylaxis in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery in a Private Third-Level Center in Mexico City.
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
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a significant source of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. As the prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome continues to rise, particularly in Mexico, the number of bariatric procedures has also increased. However, optimal strategies for thromboprophylaxis in laparoscopic bariatric surgery remain unclear, with limited data specific to the Mexican population. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of VTE as the primary outcome and the safety and associated complications of different thromboprophylaxis strategies in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery at a tertiary care center in Mexico City. Specifically, the study compared mechanical prophylaxis to combined mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis. The findings provide objective data on the effectiveness of these approaches in preventing VTE and related complications in this patient population.
