Abdominal viscus penetration by laparoscopic-adjustable gastric band tubing: case report and review.
Article in BJR case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Laparoscopic-adjustable gastric band (LAGB) complications are increasingly recognised as follow-up time increases. These are most commonly related to the gastric band or port site, but complications of the connecting tubing are also reported. We present a case of LAGB tubing penetration through the transverse colon causing abdominal sepsis in a complex surgical abdomen and review prior published cases of abdominal viscus penetration by LAGB tubing. Like complications involving all LAGB components, these often present with non-specific abdominal signs and symptoms and undergo abdominal CT as an early investigation. This makes knowledge of normal and pathological imaging features of LAGB components important in radiology practice.
