Routine Histopathology in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Over 10 Years.

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
introductionLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is one of the world's most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery. Routine histopathology of the surgical specimen is undertaken at most institutions, regardless of the lack of clinical suspicion of any sinister pathology. We evaluated the histopathology reports of LSG cases done for morbid obesity at our hospital over 10 years to determine the distribution of gastric changes and the prevalence of
methodsA retrospective study was conducted. All LSGs performed at Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan, from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2024, were assessed. A total of 538 cases were included. Histopathology reports were reviewed for all these patients, and the histopathological diagnosis and the presence or absence of
resultsThe mean age was 36.9 ± 11.4 years. There were 201 (37.4%) males. No abnormality was found in 105 (19.5%) cases. Gastritis was present in 433 (80.5%) cases. Intestinal metaplasia was present in eight (1.5%) cases in a background of gastritis. There were no cases of gastric atrophy or dysplasia. There was one case of submucosal lipoma (0.2%) and one case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) (0.2%). Both cases were associated with gastritis.
conclusionHistopathological examination of the LSG specimen revealed a very high prevalence of gastritis, with normal findings in less than a fifth of all cases. The prevalence of
