Waist Circumference Is a Strong Predictor of a Positive Outcome Evaluated One Year After Sleeve Gastrectomy.

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
backgroundBariatric surgeries, such as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), not only result in significant weight loss but also improve the inflammatory state in obese patients. This study aimed to investigate the effects of LSG on weight loss and inflammation status in bariatric patients 1-year post-procedure.
methodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted from September 2022 to May 2024. Fifty obese adults were enrolled for LSG. All patients underwent assessments of body measurements, as well as levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) at baseline, and then at 3 and 12 months post-surgery.
resultsTwelve months post-surgery, body measurements showed a significant reduction, with a median excess weight loss (%EWL) of 56.8%, indicating the clinical success of the bariatric procedure. %EWL showed a strong correlation with waist circumference (R = - 0.738, p < 0.00001). A logistic regression model indicated that a reduction of just 1 cm in initial waist circumference increases the likelihood of a positive outcome in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy by 12%. Moreover, a significant increase was observed for IL-10 (p < 0.0001), simultaneously with a significant decrease in IL-6 (p < 0.0001).
conclusionsThis study provides valuable evidence supporting the benefits of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for both weight loss and reducing inflammation. Waist circumference emerged as a strong predictor of metabolic success 1-year post-surgery, while increased IL-10 levels signaled positive immunological changes.
