Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banded Plication (Lagbp): Standardization of Surgical Technique and Analysis of Surgical Outcomes.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic adjustable gastric banded plication (LAGBP) is a novel bariatric procedure which is restrictive and reversible. The aim of this study were to compare two LAGBP techniques and analyze its postoperative outcomes, in order to standardize the procedure.
methodsEighty patients who underwent LAGBP were enrolled in this study. Forty patients who underwent LAGBP (group 1) from December 2011 to June 2012 were compared with 40 patients (group 2) who underwent a modified LAGBP technique, which included preserving the right gastroepiploic vessels and uniform plication volume between July 2012 and January 2013. Relevant patient's data were collected and analyzed.
resultsBoth groups were similar in age, gender, preoperative body mass index (BMI), and hospital stay. The median total operative time was shorter in group 2 (100.5 min; range 41-189) compared to group 1 (124 min; range 63-192), p = 0.048. There were two major complications involving gastric fold herniation (GFH) in group 1, while none was seen in group 2, p = 0.07. The minor complications encountered in both groups were similar, p = 0.37. At 6-month follow-up, there was no difference in mean frequency of band adjustments, weight, and BMI reduction in both groups. No mortality was seen in our series.
conclusionsA standardized LAGBP procedure which includes uniform plication volume and preservation of right gastroepiploic vessels could potentially avoid early GFH. However, larger comparative studies with longer follow-up would be needed to evaluate the late outcomes of this procedure and its efficacy in weight loss.
