Gastric prolapse with pseudocysts following laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding.

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
introductionLaparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a reversible method of surgical gastric restriction. Following LAGB, the adverse event most commonly necessitating subsequent reoperation is prolapse of the gastric corpus or fundus above the band. A review of the medical literature reveals no reports of nonpancreatic pseudocysts being associated with this adverse event. Nonpancreatic pseudocysts, encountered during revisional bariatric surgery should be considered a cause of irreducible gastric prolapse. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 41-year-old Caucasian female who underwent laparoscopic surgery to revise an adjustable gastric band and to repair an anterior gastric prolapse. Intraoperatively, 2 pseudocysts were found on the gastric fundus above the band in association with the gastric prolapse. The pseudocysts were resected, the gastric prolapse was reduced, and the band was left in place. The patient recovered uneventfully.
conclusionNonpancreatic pseudocysts may be associated with gastric prolapse in patients who have undergone LAGB. These pseudocysts can often be excised laparoscopically without violating the gastric lumen. This atypical presentation of gastric prolapse may pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge as these patients may.
