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

Childhood obesity is a significant problem. Due in part to suboptimal weight loss with lifestyle intervention alone, bariatric surgery, combined with ongoing lifestyle changes, has become a favorable approach in adolescents with severe obesity and weight-related comorbidities and is associated with effective weight loss and reducing weight-related comorbidities. Laparoscopic greater curvature plication is a promising new bariatric surgical procedure that has been shown to be effective in adults with severe obesity but has not been evaluated in the adolescent population. Gastric plication may be a particularly attractive approach for the adolescent patient as it is potentially reversible, does not involve the surgical removal of tissue, and is without a significant malabsorptive component. Our team has obtained approval from our Institutional Review Board to perform a laparoscopic greater curvature plication on 30 adolescent patients with severe obesity and study its effect on weight loss, metabolic effects, and psychological functioning in the setting of a multidisciplinary program. Results of this study, including comprehensive clinical and psychological data collected over a 3.5-year span, will inform larger prospective investigations comparing the laparoscopic greater curvature plication and other bariatric operations in the adolescent population.
