Long-Term Results After Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding for Morbid Obesity: 18-Year Follow-Up in a Single University Unit.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 banding (LAGB) remains one of the most performed bariatric procedures worldwide, but a few long-term studies have been reported often with limited data at time of longest follow-up. We review our 18-year LAGB experience with special regard to weight loss failure and long-term complications leading to band removal.
methodsWe performed 897 LAGB procedures from April 1996 to December 2007: 376 using the perigastric dissection and 521 using the pars flaccida dissection. We performed a retrospective analysis of the data of this consecutive series. Failure was defined as band removal with or without conversion to another procedure or excess weight loss (EWL%) <25 %.
resultsThere were 120 men and 770 women. Mean age was 39.5 years, and mean BMI was 45.6 kg/m
conclusionsDespite good initial results, late complications, weight regain, and intolerance lead to band removal in nearly half of the patients over time. However, given that there is no good information on alternative procedures in the long term and considering its reversibility and safety still has a place in the treatment of morbid obesity for informed and motivated patients.
