Development and External Validation of a Prediction Model for Hypoxemia After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Patients with Obesity: a Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04548232 (Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital,School of Medicine, Tongji University), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundPostoperative hypoxemia (PH) is the most common postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) of bariatric surgery. However, clinically validated tools and tests are lacking to predict the risk of hypoxemia after bariatric surgery in patients with obesity. Therefore, this study developed and validated a nomogram model for predicting the probability of hypoxemia within 24 h after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients with obesity.
methodsThe prediction model was based on a retrospective study of 195 patients with obesity who underwent LSG between January 2018 and December 2023 at Shanghai Tenth People’s Hospital. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of postoperative hypoxemia. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration curves, clinical decision curve analysis, and clinical impact curves. This prediction model was internally validated with bootstrap resampling and further externally validated in 105 patients who underwent LSG at Beijing Friendship Hospital and The Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu.
resultsThe nomogram prediction model included preoperative body mass index (BMI), platelet count (PLT), fibrinogen level (FIB), and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index. This prediction model demonstrated favorable discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity in both the training and validation sets. We published the nomogram online as a simple and useful calculator.
conclusionsThe prediction model accurately predicted the risk of postoperative hypoxemia in patients with obesity and may help professionals identify high-risk patients early and make informed clinical decisions.
