A new laparoscopic technique for weight reduction with implanted gastric banding basket.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNowadays, obesity is frequently an indication for implantation of an adjustable stomach or gastric band. Among the side effects, in addition to band erosion and port chamber complications, pouch dilation in the sense of increasing enlargement of the forestomach and resulting insufficiency of initial surgical measures consistently occurs. Implantation of a soft basket band will prevent this. The objective of this study was to investigate the practical feasibility of the soft basket band.
methodsTen patients were investigated in an observation study over a period from November 2006 to June 2007. Seven patients were women and three patients were men, with an average age of 43.6 years (25-66 years).
resultsThe average body mass index (BMI) at the time of the operation was 47.4 +/- 5.5 kg/m(2), with an average body weight of 134.5 +/- 24.6 kg. After a median follow-up period of 1 month, an average BMI of 44.9 +/- 5.8 kg/m(2) was achieved, and after 3 months, an average BMI of 41.4 +/- 4.8 kg/m(2). The excessive weight loss was 7.4 +/- 4.3 kg after 1 month and 17.9 +/- 6.4 kg after 3 months. A local wound infection occurred as a complication in one patient.
conclusionLaparoscopy procedures enable mortality to be lowered compared to bypass operations with minimal complications and substantial reduction of weight.
