Banded Versus Non-banded Sleeve Gastrectomy: 5-Year Results of a 3-Year Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
purposeBanded sleeve gastrectomy (BSG) has been shown to enable better weight loss than non-banded sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in retrospective analyses. These findings were supported by two randomized controlled trials (RCT). However, to date, mid-term prospective data is not available. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe invited all 94 patients of an RCT comparing banded to non-banded sleeve gastrectomy at 3 years (DRKS00007729) for a 5-year follow-up visit. Eighty-two patients (BSG n = 42; SG n = 40) came for evaluation. Outcome measures were identical with the RCT to allow longitudinal comparison. Data analysis was descriptive and focused on biometric data, development of comorbidities, mid-term complications, quality of life, and type of body contouring surgery (BCS).
resultsThe per-protocol analysis revealed a treatment difference of 9% (CI - 1.5 to 19.6) excess weight loss (EWL). Total weight loss (TWL) was 27.4% (CI 23.5-31.3) after SG and 31.6% (CI 27.3-35.5) after BSG. Twenty percent of patients after SG and 11.9% following BSG had been converted to a gastric bypass. Type 2 diabetes went into remission in most patients (SG 66.7% vs. BSG 63.6%). Antihypertensive medication was stopped or reduced in 81.3% after SG and 80% after BSG. Reflux symptoms were similar in both groups (symptoms [Formula: see text] 1/ week: SG 28.2% vs. BSG 26.8%). Frequency of postprandial regurgitation was higher after BSG (SG 23% vs. BSG 59%). Forty percent of patients had undergone BCS at time of follow-up.
conclusionFive-year weight loss after BSG was 9% EWL and 4.2% TWL higher compared to SG. The main added morbidity following BSG was postprandial regurgitation.
