Stealth Erosion: A Rare Case of Gastric Band Complication 2 Decades Postimplantation With a Prolonged and Complex Hospital Course.

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
A woman in her 60s presented with epigastric pain and fever, initially managed as acute cholecystitis. Imaging was inconclusive, but esophagogastroduodenoscopy on hospital day 4 revealed gastric band erosion 20 years postlaparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Surgery confirmed partial erosion with abscess along the band tract and subcutaneous port site. Postoperative complications included gastric leak, candida infection, and abdominal wall abscess, managed with antibiotics, drainage, and supportive care. She was later discharged on oral antibiotics but developed a pulmonary embolism requiring anticoagulation. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding complications, including erosion, should be considered even decades later; early endoscopy may prevent delays and related complications.
