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
introduction and importanceObesity has become a global health crisis and is now considered a pandemic. Intragastric balloons (IGB) can aid obese patients achieve a better effect of weight loss than medications while being noninvasive compared to surgical therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 42-yr-old female with difficulty in losing weight even after three attempts of IGB and several diet programs. At the time of presentation, the patients BMI was 46.2 kg/m CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) was suggested for the patient. While performing LSG in association with a gastroscope, an unexpected old and deflated gastric balloon was found residing inside the stomach cavity. The rest of the surgery had no difficulty after the old gastric balloon was removed. The patients BMI post-LSG after 18 months was noticed to be 26.6 kg/m
conclusionWe recommend performing gastroscopy prior to LSG for every patient with a previous gastric balloon insertion, especially if they had it more than once, to avoid potential complications during surgery.
