Late-Onset Gastric Band Erosion Following Heavy Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Use.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) surgery is now an uncommon bariatric procedure; however, complications may still be encountered. A 64-year-old man with a history of LAGB placement 13 years prior presented with 2 months of epigastric pain. He endorsed chronic heavy nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use. Computed tomography showed inflammation around the LAGB tubing with near-complete, circumferential erosion of the LAGB into the fundus. Upper endoscopy confirmed erosion of the LAGB along with port tubing into the gastroesophageal junction and fundus. The patient was referred to a foregut surgeon who performed robotic band removal.
