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

Obesity has been recognized as the main pandemic of this century. Multiple treatments have been developed: the use of medications, exercise, diet, and surgery. Bariatric surgery is one of the treatments that has shown the greatest effectiveness. Several techniques have been developed, such as gastric sleeve (GS) and gastric bypass. One of the most recent is laparoscopic bariclip gastroplasty (LBCG). It is a procedure that involves placing a non-adjustable device parallel to the lesser curvature. It exerts a restrictive effect similar to GS. The main complications associated with this procedure include device migration and de novo gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). These are the main reasons for performing revision surgery and device removal. Weight regain is a rarely reported complication, and conversion to another procedure also has few reports. The objective of this study is to report the case of a female patient who presented weight regain as a complication and underwent conversion to GS in northeastern Mexico.
