Impact of Intragastric Balloon Placement on the Stomach Wall: A Prospective Cohort Study.
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 6 papers.
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
purposeEndoscopic intragastric balloon (IGB) placement is a minimally invasive treatment for morbid obesity that is sometimes used as a preparatory step before surgical intervention. This study was performed to analyze the changes in the stomach wall induced by IGB placement, with particular emphasis on pathomorphology, inflammatory markers, and tissue growth factors. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn total, 30 patients with morbid obesity were prospectively analyzed. A total of 16 patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 53 kg/m
resultsThe IGB group had a longer median hospital stay than that of the non-IGB group. Compared with the non-IGB group, the IGB group had a thicker stomach wall, more submucosal fibrosis, and increased amounts of growth factors and inflammatory markers.
conclusionPatients with IGB placement before LSG showed greater changes in the stomach wall than those of patients who received LSG alone. IGB placement was associated with stomach muscle layer thickening, submucosal fibrosis, and increased levels of inflammatory markers and tissue growth factors.
