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

backgroundGastric plication is a new bariatric procedure. Controversies exist regarding this emerging surgery. We herein present a comprehensive review of the literature regarding gastric plication approach.

methodsAdvanced Pub Med search combining the MeSH terms "Gastric plication", OR "Gastric greater curvature plication" yielded 213 abstracts. Abstracts were screened for articles in English and articles on human subjects yielding 130. Further searches revealed 121 titles to be unrelated to gastric plication. The remaining nine abstracts were analyzed for their full texts. Two articles were excluded because, one was a commentary on another article, and the other was a released ASMBS policy on gastric plication. In the end, there were seven articles published on gastric plication.

resultsA total of 307 patients had undergone gastric plication. The mean operative time range was 40 to 150 min. The median length of hospital stay ranged between 1.3 and 1.9 days. In respect to excess weight loss (EWL), at 6 months, it ranged from 54 to 51 %, while at 12 months 67-53.4 %. The longest follow-up was 3 years with a mean of 57 % EWL.

conclusionLaparoscopic gastric plication is still in its infancy. Prospective randomized studies comparing gastric plication to other well established bariatric procedures are needed to prove the reliability and metabolic effectiveness of such new procedure.
