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

Gastric bands have been used since the 1970s for weight loss. Owing to a rise in complications, this procedure has significantly decreased in popularity. Our study describes a 63-year-old woman with a history of nonadjustable gastric band placement 30 years ago who presented with an incidental imaging finding concerning for a gastric mass. Esophagoduodenoscopy revealed erosion of gastric band material through the gastric wall. Our case highlights the importance of endoscopy for assessment of abnormal imaging, including surgical complications in the differential for intraluminal masses, and obtaining a thorough surgical history.
