Acute Pancreatitis as a Complication of Intragastric Balloons: a Case Series.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Intragastric balloon (IGB) placement for the treatment of obesity has been in use for more than three decades. The major advantage of IGBs is that they preserve the anatomy of the stomach and are generally considered safe; the most common complications are nausea/vomiting and abdominal pain, and very rarely are IGBs associated with mortality (0.05%). A total of 14 cases of pancreatitis complicating IGBs have been reported in the literature. In this series, we reported 10 patients who developed acute pancreatitis in association with IGBs of which half were treated conservatively without the removal of the IGBs.
