Gastric clipping for morbid obesity: the initial results of a clinical trial.
Trial report in World journal of surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveWe inaugurated a clinical trial using laparoscopic gastric clipping to treat morbid obesity patients. We report the 2-year results.
designTen patients with morbid obesity underwent laparoscopic gastric clipping to promote weight loss. A novel metallic clip was applied to the outside wall of the upper fundus of the stomach by a laparoscopic technique. The clip allowed a restricted passage of meals through a mucosa tunnel 0.4-0.6 cm in diameter. MEASUREMENTS: The body weight and feeding status of the patients were monitored periodically. Barium meal studies at 1 day and 2 years after the clipping were compared.
resultsTen patients (3 men, 7 women) with body weight of 117 +/- 18.2 kg (101.8-156.5) and body mass index (BMI) 43.4 +/- 5.2 (40-56) were included. The gastric clips were successfully applied laparoscopically in all patients. The operation time ranged from 65 to 210 minutes and showed a learning curve. The excess body weight loss was progressive and long lasting postoperatively. The mean BMI and percentage of excess body weight loss at the 2-year period was 32.01 +/- 4.89 kg/m(2) and 64.4%, respectively. The mean BMI 2 years after surgery was significantly decreased compared with that before surgery. Barium meal studies did not show significant sliding or migration of the clips at 2-year follow-up. No mortality or late complications occurred.
conclusionsOur results indicate that laparoscopic gastric clipping is a safe, simple, and effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity.
