Antireflux Mucosectomy Band (ARM-b) in Treatment of Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease After Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has become the most commonly used bariatric surgery worldwide. However, there are a proportion of patients who present with a refractory GERD after this procedure. In these patients, when surgical conversion to RYGPB is not possible or declined, we propose to describe the results of an endoscopic antireflux mucosectomy band (ARM-b) technique in 6 LSG patients with refractory GERD. The technical feasibility was 100%; 5 out of 6 patients had a clinical response with a reduction of the GERD-HRQL score of > 50%. Two patients had adverse events: one esophageal stricture and one benign bleeding. ARM-b is feasible and potentially effective to treat patients with refractory GERD after LSG.
