1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Obesity is nowadays a serious worldwide public health problem. In order to give patients a better quality of live, there are now medical and surgical treatments that may be offered to those patients. Since 2005, the Hospital de Santarém has been doing bariatric surgery. From 77 procedures with laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, there were three cases of migration. The authors propose a new procedure to deal with migrations, according to a classification for band migration, as an alternative to a removal by laparoscopy or laparotomy. Let loose technique is a procedure that can be used in patients with band migration beyond the angle of Treitz and without other associated complications. It is consist of removing the port under local anaesthesia, leaving the insufflations' tube, hospitalization for monitoring the patient and awaiting for the elimination of the band with faeces. It's less costly and with minimal risks for patient. The first results are satisfactory and encouraging.
