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 adjustable gastric band (LAGB) is one of the most popular bariatric surgical procedures both in Europe and United States, because it is considered to be a safe and effective way of treating morbid obesity. This minimally invasive frequently employed bariatric procedure has many reported complications, but only a few cases of esophageal perforation have been reported. We present a case of iatrogenic esophageal perforation in an 18-year-old patient occurring during attempt to place an adjustable gastric band laparoscopically, which was diagnosed intraoperatively. Conversion to open sleeve gastrectomy with primary suturing of the perforation and drainage were performed. On the early postoperative period leak from the intra-abdominal part of the esophagus was diagnosed and treated with endoscopic placement of a self-expandable metal stent. After 2-years of follow-up the patient continues to have no sequelae from the perforation or symptoms of dysphagia, while Excess Weight Loss is 74.
