Pleural Effusion in a Patient With Splenic Hematoma Following Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Sleeve gastrectomy has proved both effective and durable as a surgical intervention for obesity worldwide. This emphasizes the importance of reporting uncommon complications to enhance surgeons' awareness in their prevention, recognition, and management. We report an unusual case of a 31-year-old female with a BMI of 46 kg/m² who presented with progressive left hypochondrial pain and leukocytosis two weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Abdominal CT revealed a splenic hematoma with associated left-sided pleural effusion. Surgical intervention was required for pleural effusion management after unsuccessful conservative treatment while ensuring splenic preservation. This case highlights splenic hematoma following sleeve gastrectomy as an uncommon but important cause of pleural effusion.
