Laparoscopic Gastric Banding in Obese Patients with Sleep Apnea: A 3-Year Controlled Study and Follow-up After 10 Years.

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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare the effects of intensive nutritional care (INC) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) on nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV) requirement in obese patients using short-, medium-, and long-term follow-up data.
methodsThis prospective randomized controlled trial included obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated by NIV. Patients were randomized to the INC and LAGB groups. The primary endpoint was the theoretical rate of weaning from NIV at years 1 and 3. Data were also collected from patients 10 years after randomization.
resultsSixty-three patients were randomized. The rate of weaning from NIV did not differ significantly between the LAGB and INC groups at year 1 (35 vs. 13%) or year 3 (14 vs. 21%). Percentages of excess weight loss were greater in the LAGB group than in the INC group at years 1 (33 vs. 15%, p = 0.002) and 3 (27 vs. 8%, p = 0.014). Decreases in the apnea-hypopnea index were observed in the LAGB group from baseline to year 1 (-44%, p = 0.001) and from baseline to year 3 (-26%, p = 0.044). After 10 years, the weaning rate was low and similar between groups.
conclusionLAGB was not superior to INC for weaning from NIV at 1 and 3 years in obese patients with OSA.
