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

The duodenal-jejunal bypass liner and the intragastric balloon are endoscopically deployed devices used in the treatment of obesity and diabetes. These devices use differing mechanisms of action, and concurrent use may lead to improved efficacy. Three obese patients who suffered from weight loss plateau with the liner had the intragastric balloon inserted concurrently. All 3 patients reported subsequent significant weight loss. None of the patients reported any symptom that indicate the interference between the devices. This is the first case series in humans of successfully combining 2 independent endoscopic bariatric therapies to overcome weight loss plateau in the primary treatment of obesity.
