Histopathological findings in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in the Western region of Saudi Arabia.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundMetabolic and bariatric surgeries are effective interventions in reducing weight and mortality. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed procedure, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It involves resection of approximately 80% of the stomach, yielding large specimens for histopathological evaluation.
objectivesTo identify histopathological findings in gastric specimens, evaluate the incidence of unexpected gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and characterize the metabolic and bariatric surgery population in Saudi Arabia.
designRetrospective cohort. SETTINGS: Single-center tertiary care in Saudi Arabia. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study included patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric sleeve between May 2015 and April 2021. Inclusion criteria were patients with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m MAIN OUTCO ME MEASURES: Gastric histopathological findings, unexpected GIST incidence and metabolic and bariatric surgery population. SAMPLE SIZE: 211 patients with obesity.
resultsPatients' mean age was 38.2 years with a mean Body mass index (BMI) of 44.24 kg/m
conclusionsH. pylori infection was detected at a mean age of 36.7 years and showed a significant association with higher BMI (mean difference: 2.2 kg/m LIMITATIONS: Retrospective design and Giemsa stain was not done for all specimens to investigate
