Gastric plication can reduce slippage rate after laparoscopic gastric banding.
Article in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundLaparoscopic insertion of a gastric band for weight reduction is increasingly performed in obese and morbidly obese patients. Complication rates after gastric band insertion are reduced by using certain techniques. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis was a prospective study of all patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) insertion at our unit. This procedure is performed through the classical 4-port technique and the use of a liver retractor. The pars flaccida method is performed in all patients, and the gold finger, a malleable instrument, is used to guide the band through the retroesophageal window in patients with difficult anatomy. Band slippage is avoided by using 2 types of gastric plication, depending on the anatomical characteristics of the stomach. Outcomes and morbidity are recorded, and patients are followed up in outpatient clinics.
resultsLaparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) insertion was performed in 464 patients. A single consultant surgeon performed all procedures over a 2-year period. From August 2005 through August 2007, 380 (81.89%) women and 84 (18.10%) men were included in this study. The mean age was 41 years (range, 21 to 62). The mean body mass index was 43 (range, 35 to 62). Morbidity included dysphagia, epigastric pain, port displacement, port infection, erosion, and acute respiratory distress. Only one (0.21%) case of band slippage was reported. The mean follow-up was 26 months (range, 18 to 42).
conclusionLaparoscopic gastric plication adds greater security and provides optimum gastric band placement. It is an effective method to reduce slippage after gastric band insertion.
