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

backgroundBariatric surgery has been increasingly becoming popular due to the advancements in minimally invasive approaches and techniques. The aim of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes and clinical relevance of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) in a matched controlled single-bariatric centre study.

methodsWe collected data from 163 patients who underwent either LSG or LGCP over a period of at least 5 years. The outcome parameters included body mass index (BMI) changes, causes of revision surgery, endoscopic findings and effects on obesity-related comorbidities.

resultsA total of 79 patients underwent LGCP, while 84 underwent LSG for morbid obesity. At the fifth year of follow-up, a BMI of < 30 was achieved in 1% of patients who underwent LGCP (n = 1) compared with more than 80% of patients who underwent LSG (n = 70). Revision was mainly due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or bile reflux in the LSG group and due to weight gain in the LGCP group. LSG was superior in improvements in comorbidities. The most observed endoscopic finding was GERD (grade a, b) in the LSG group and unfolding of part of or the whole stomach in the LGCP group. Early minor postoperative complications occurred at a significantly lower frequency in the LSG group.

conclusionsLGCP has a higher rate of complications, a much less durable effect on weight loss, a higher rate of revision surgery and a higher cost burden to the health care system than LSG.
