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

This is the first report to present a novel application of TORe for anatomical revision in a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome and super-super obesity, following substantial weight regain after Scopinaro surgery performed 9 years prior. The procedure involved APC-induced mucosal ablation and endoscopic full-thickness suturing. Postoperatively, the patient achieved 34% excess weight loss and 25.4% total body weight loss at 3 months, sustained at 41% EWL and 31% TBWL at 12 months. Improvements included resolution of obstructive sleep apnea, glycemic optimization, and improvement in functional capacity.
