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

backgroundAlthough considered a common bariatric procedure, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is associated with high rates of weight loss failure and long-term complications. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to re-assess the safety and outcome of conversion of failed LAGB to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). MATERIALS AND

methodsOne hundred and nine patients underwent conversion from LAGB to LSG (78 females, mean age 43 ± 11.3 years, mean BMI 42.4 ± 7.4 kg/m

resultsAll cases were completed laproscopically, with 88% (n = 96) performed in a single stage. Fourteen patients developed early post-operative complications (12.8%), including two leaks and three post-operative bleeding. There were no mortalities in this series. Average BMI at least 1-year following surgery was 33 ± 5.3 kg/m

conclusionsOur data suggests that conversion of failed LAGB to LSG is both safe and effective. Randomized controlled studies comparing conversion of a failed LAGB to sleeve gastrectomy versus other bariatric operations are necessary to clarify the optimal conversion procedure.
