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

A patient with a surgical history including an historic laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) procedure presented to the emergency department with a history of haematemesis, intractable vomiting and abdominal pain 3 days following an outpatient oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) for chronic anaemia. A day after presentation to the emergency department, following admission, the patient underwent a repeat OGD. In contrast to her previous procedure, this demonstrated abnormal fluid and food deposition within what was originally reported to be a large hiatus hernia with a tight lower oesophageal sphincter. On corroboration with CT imaging obtained, in retrospect the endoscopic findings were attributed to slippage of the patient's adjustable gastric band. The band was loosened via its subcutaneous access port, following consultation with the surgical service, resulting in complete resolution of the patients' symptoms and she was discharged. This case is an example of gastroscopy as a rare trigger for the common complication of slipped gastric band following LAGB.
