Effects of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy on left ventricular myocardial work in obese patients.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. 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
Background: Obesity is a global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery, but its effect on cardiac functions remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of weight loss after LSG on the left ventricular myocardial work (LVMW) in obese patients and explore the clinical value of the left ventricular pressure - strain loop (LV - PSL). Methods: Thirty - eight obese patients (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m Results: After LSG, significant reductions in body mass index (BMI), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and weight were observed. Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), left ventricular end - diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end - systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), Peak E, e', and a' decreased, while left ventricular mass index increased. Myocardial work parameters also showed significant changes after LSG, with global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global work efficiency (GWE) increasing and global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), and global wasted work (GWW) decreasing. Significant correlations were observed between the differences in GWW and left ventricular end - diastolic diameter (LVDd), as well as between the differences in GWI and LVEDV. The differences in left ventricular mass and its index were both significantly negatively correlated with the difference in GWW. Conclusions: LV - PSL can effectively evaluate left ventricular myocardial work in obese patients. Weight loss after LSG can improve left ventricular myocardial work efficiency, and the associated parameter changes are related to cardiac structure, offering new clinical references.
