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

backgroundLaparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is a well-established method of morbid obesity treatment. One of the complications is slippage.

aimThe aim of the study was to assess the prevalence, causes, and handling of slippage after LAGB in own material. MATERIAL AND

methodsThere were 740 procedures performed by one surgical team. The patients were selected according to the IFSO principles. The pars flaccida technique was applied and the position of the band was controlled. There was neither plication nor the bands were sutured to the stomach wall. Slippage was recognized during X-ray examination. With these patients, the band was emptied of liquid, gastric endoscopy was performed routinely, and patients were qualified for surgery.

resultsThe patient group consisted of 500 women and 240 men. The average body weight was 128 kg and BMI 44.60 kg/m

conclusionsIn conclusion, we believe that slippage is and will continue to be a significant problem in patients with gastric banding. Patient education focused on dietary errors may reduce the incidence of this complication. The grace period between the primary surgery and the redo operation should be applied regarding reoperation.
