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

Laparoscopic vertical clip gastroplasty (LVCG) with BariClip is a recent procedure that appears to be safe Gentileschi et al. (Obes Surg 33(1):303-12, 2023). The initial complications reported include erosion, slippage, and gastroesophageal reflux. This study aimed to report on the experience of a single surgical group, analyzing three clinical cases, conducting a literature review, and proposing a standardization of the technique. A retrospective study was conducted with data from June 2021 to October 2024. We collected the data from the procedures related to the bariatric clip made by only one surgical group; we collected 69 cases with 1 complication of this surgical group. Additionally, we described 2 clinical cases of complications related to bariatric clips from other surgical institutions and reviewed the literature related to the BariClip experience. The results are related to the evaluation of the technique and compare the different modifications implemented over the last 3 years of follow-up. Furthermore, we aim to share our experience in attending to one of the most concerning complications associated with this procedure. The LVCG is a safe procedure with a low incidence of complications and positive results in %EWL. We propose several modifications to the original technique to further reduce complications, and we share the experience of both treating and resolving some of the complications we encountered.
