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

Introduction. Laparoscopic gastric banding is a first line bariatric procedure that is performed worldwide and can achieve substantial weight loss. Despite its many advantages, as the least invasive bariatric procedure, it has several complications like gastric prolapse, stoma obstruction and migration of the gatstric band. Rarely are these complications life threatening, but re-operation is usually the only treatment. Case presentation. We report a rare case of intrajejunal migration of an adjustable gastric band that was placed laparoscopically four years ago. Conclusion. Gastric band migration is a rather common complication of laparoscopic gastric banding, but intrajejunal migration is very rare and requires high clinical suspicion, close follow-up and thorough pre-operative investigation so as to avoid intraoperative surprises and retrieve the displaced gastric band safely.
