Comparison of pregnancy and neonatal outcomes before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in women diagnosed with obesity.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to compare pregnancy and neonatal outcomes before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in women diagnosed with obesity.
methodsFemale patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with the diagnosis of obesity at Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine between 11.01.2015 and 17.03.2025 were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups as those who became pregnant after the operation (n = 59) and those who did not (n = 435). Pregnancy and delivery outcomes of the women who became pregnant before and after the operation were compared.
resultsPregnancy rate after LSG was 11.9% in our sample. Age mean for pregnancy patients after LSG (31.22 ± 4.45) were significantly lower (p < 0.05), whereas BMI mean differences between postop pregnant and non-pregnant group were insignificant (p > 0.05). DM, HT, PCOS, anxiety, asthma and hypothyroid distribution differences were also insignificant between postop pregnancy groups (p > 0.05). Pregnancy month after operation was ranged from 6 to 60 months with 25.22 ± 13.84 months mean. DM frequency was 6.8%, HT, PCOS and anxiety frequencies were 5.1%. 45.8% of patients had operation history. Birth weight and mother age were significantly higher in postop pregnant after LSG patients (p < 0.05). Pregnancy BMI was significantly lower after LSG (p < 0.05). Congenital anomaly was more common in postop pregnant after LSG patients (p < 0.05). All other pregnancy and delivery outcome differences between patient groups were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05).
conclusionPregnancy rates in pregnant women after LSG were over 10%. Birth weight, BMI during pregnancy and congenital anomaly differed before and after LSG. Further studies are needed on the relationship between congenital anomaly and LSG.
