Unusual Migration of a Gastric Band 15 Years Post-surgery: Laparoscopic Management of a Challenging Case.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery (LAGB) is a surgical technique that was widely used in the past for the treatment of morbid obesity. Nowadays, it is on the decline due to its moderate results in weight loss, coupled with a significant risk of complications. Among others, band erosion and migration are relatively common and require gastric band removal. These conditions might be difficult to manage, as there is also a high possibility of post-surgical complications. Herein we present the case of a 46-year-old woman with port protrusion and erosion, as well as migration of the band in an atypical position inside the abdomen, occurring 15 years after a gastric band procedure, and its successful management.
