Short-term Metabolic Outcomes After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study from Oman.
Article in Oman medical journal, 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
Objectives: Obesity poses a significant challenge worldwide, increasing the risk of various metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension (HTN), and dyslipidemia. Bariatric surgery, specifically a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), is effective in inducing weight loss, thereby improving the rate of obesity-related metabolic diseases. This study aimed to assess the short-term effectiveness and metabolic effects of LSG procedures among patients in Oman. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, and included patients who underwent LSG between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018. Demographic, clinical, and anthropometric data were collected from the hospital's computerized records preoperatively and one year postoperatively. Results: A total of 168 patients were included in the study, of whom most were female (66.1%). Before surgery, the mean age was 36.1 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 50.8 kg/m Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that LSG is effective for the short-term achievement of percent EWL among Omani patients with morbid obesity. However, further studies are needed to assess the long-term effectiveness of LSG on percent EWL and its effect on obesity-related metabolic diseases.
