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
introductionAs the use of gastric bands diminishes in bariatric and metabolic surgery, we present the results of a 15-year randomized controlled trial comparing 2 distinct adjustable gastric bands.
aimThe aim of this study was to compare long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery performed using 2 different adjustable gastric band types over a 15-year period. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween January 1, 2009, and January 31, 2010, a total of 103 patients with obesity underwent randomization to receive treatment with either a Swedish adjustable gastric band (SAGB; n = 49) or a MiniMizer Extra adjustable gastric band (n = 54). Weight loss outcomes, comorbidity resolution, long-term complications, and quality of life measures were assessed at 1, 5, and 15 years postoperatively.
resultsBaseline characteristics were similar between the groups, with a mean (SD) patient age of 45.9 (11.7) years and a mean (SD) preoperative body mass index of 47.5 (7.3) kg/m
conclusionsSAGB and MiniMizer Extra bands demonstrated comparable outcomes at both the 5- and 15-year follow-up with respect to weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, morbidity, and quality of life. However, most of the improvements in comorbidities observed at the 5-year follow-up significantly declined after 15 years.
