Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty in class III obesity: Efficacy, safety, and durability outcomes in 404 consecutive patients.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective therapy for class I-II obesity, but there are knowledge gaps in the published literature about its implementation in patients with class III obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m
aimTo evaluate the safety, clinical efficacy, and durability of ESG in adults with class III obesity.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study that used prospectively collected data on adults with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m
results404 consecutive patients (78.5% female, mean age 42.9 years, mean BMI 44.8 ± 4.7 kg/m
conclusionWhen combined with longitudinal nutritional support, ESG induces effective and durable weight loss in adults with class III obesity, with improvement in comorbidities and an acceptable safety profile.
