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

Laparoscopic gastric banding has been favored for the treatment of morbid obesity because it is minimally invasive, effective, and reversible. One of the complications is gastric band erosion which can cause abdominal pain, hematemesis, and hematochezia. Erosions can be partial and can lead to intra-abdominal free air, peritonitis, and sepsis. Endoscopic removal of the gastric band can be done safely and effectively using a wire and a mechanical lithotripter. We describe a patient with a rare case of an incidental near-complete gastric band erosion without perforation and subsequent endoscopic removal.
