Editorial: Aspiration Therapy for Weight Loss: Is the Squeeze worth the Juice?
Article in The American journal of gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03598920 (Study of Safety and Efficacy Assessment of Aspiration Therapy for Morbidly Obese Adolescents), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
There is a desperate need for a technically simple, reversible, clinically effective, and safe approach to facilitate weight loss and improvement in metabolic comorbidities in obese patients. This has led to significant investment into the development of endoscopic bariatric therapies. In this issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology, the first randomized controlled trial assessing aspiration therapy using an endoscopically placed gastrostomy tube is reported with promising results. Aspiration therapy is the first endoscopic therapy to be approved in the United States for use in morbidly obese patients and may be an alternative to those not wishing to undergo bariatric surgery.
