To band or not to band--early results of banded sleeve gastrectomy.

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
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the procedure with the fastest growing numbers worldwide. Although excellent weight loss can be achieved, one major obstacle of LSG is weight regain due to sleeve dilatation. Banded sleeve gastrectomy (BLSG) has been described as an option to counteract sleeve dilatation and ameliorate weight loss over time. In a retrospective study, we analysed 25 patients who underwent BLSG using a MiniMizer® ring. Twenty five patients who had previously undergone a conventional LSG were selected for matched-pair analysis. Patient follow-up was 12 months in both groups. Mean preoperative BMI was 56.1 ± 7.2 kg/m(2) for BLSG and 57.0 ± 6.3 kg/m(2) for LSG, P = 0.522. Operative time was significantly shorter for BLSG (53 ± 27 min vs. 68 ± 20 min, P = 0.0025). Excess weight loss (%EWL) was equal in both groups with %EWL at 12 months of 58.0 ± 14.6 % for BSLG patients vs. 58.4 ± 19.2 % for LSG patients. There was no procedure-related mortality in either group. At 12 months postoperative, vomiting was significantly increased in BSLG patients (OR 6.75, P = 0.035). New onset reflux was equal in both groups (OR 0.67, P = 0.469). Ring implantation does not increase the duration of surgery or early surgical complications. Weight loss in the first follow-up year is not influenced, but the incidence of vomiting is raised after 12 months when patients start to increase eating volume.
