Perforated gastric ulcer after unhealthy decisions in a patient with an intragastric balloon, a hangover you will regret.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPerforated gastric ulcers are life-threatening surgical emergencies that need early diagnosis and treatment to overcome severe complications. With the rise of obesity in recent years, intragastric balloons have arisen as a "safe" strategy; however, in medicine, no treatment is risk-free. Nausea, pain, vomiting, and more severe complications like perforation, ulceration, and death can occur. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 28-year-old man with obesity; treatment with an intragastric balloon was initiated with good results at the beginning of his treatment. However, he neglected his treatment over time and made unhealthy choices, leading to a severe complication. However, thanks to prompt surgical treatment, he made a full recovery. COMPLICATIONS: Gastric perforation following an intragastric balloon is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication that an experienced multidisciplinary team must treat promptly and, more importantly, prevent.
