Severe hypernatremia and rhabdomyolysis 30 days after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Rhabdomyolysis is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of bariatric surgery, typically occurring in the immediate postoperative period and associated with prolonged operative time, improper positioning, or extreme obesity. We report a 16-year-old female with class III obesity who underwent uneventful laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and was discharged on postoperative day 1. Approximately 30 days later, she presented with progressive weakness, myalgia and severe hypernatremia, elevated creatinine and creatine phosphokinase, suggestive of rhabdomyolysis. She was managed with aggressive intravenous hydration and gradual correction of hypernatremia, with full recovery of muscle strength and renal function. This case highlights a delayed presentation of severe hypernatremia and rhabdomyolysis following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in an adolescent patient. Clinicians should maintain a low threshold for checking creatine phosphokinase and electrolytes in post-bariatric patients with myalgia, weakness, or dark-colored urine, regardless of the time elapsed since surgery.
