Persistence of Sutures and Gastric Reduction After Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty: Radiological and Endoscopic Assessment.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective medium-term procedure for obesity treatment. There are no consistent studies confirming persistence of maintained gastric tubular configuration. We determined sleeve duration, gastric reduction degree, and suture persistence at 12-month follow-up. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis is a prospective, single-center study, including patients with obesity undergoing ESG with at least 1-year follow-up, who underwent the following: (1) Barium X-ray study (BS) prior and at 6 months, assessing degree of gastric reduction (severe, moderate, or mild), and (2) gastroscopy at 12 months, accounting the number of persistent sutures (tense, lax, or absent). Secondary outcomes were weight loss data and procedure safety profile.
resultsThirty-eight patients (30 women), median age of 47.0 [40.0-51.0] years, and average baseline BMI of 37.6 [35.5-41.5] kg/m
conclusionsESG is an effective and safe weight loss strategy at 12-month follow-up with persistence of most sutures and maintenance of notable gastric reduction and remodeling.
