Intragastric Balloons for Overweight Populations-1 Year Post Removal.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEndoscopic balloons have been used for years to treat obese seeking weight loss. This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of our lifestyle modification program.
methodsRetrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients who underwent End-ball® (Endalis) intragastric balloon insertion with a multidisciplinary follow-up program. Demographic data, weight loss complications, and satisfaction rates were assessed.
resultsIn total, 114 overweight/obese individuals from July 2012 to December 2015 were included. Mean age 36.5 years (72% females). Initial body mass index (BMI) was 33.5 kg/m
conclusionThe End-ball® program resulted in significant weight loss that continued for 1 year after balloon removal, with minimal complications. When treating overweight/obese populations, the main principles of the balloon insertion process should be no complications, high safety, and significant effectiveness. The process was most beneficial in the overweight and class I obese populations since average BMI was 33 and the class II obese had less weight loss and can possibly prevent future bariatric surgery.
