Gastric perforation from closed-loop obstruction created by a gastric band and distal small bowel obstruction: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Complications secondary to laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding are well defined in the literature, and this procedure has fallen out of favor due to more effective weight-loss surgeries over the last 15 years. Small bowel obstruction (SBO) due to gastric band erosion, slippage, compression/adhesion from the silicone tube, and bowel incarceration between abdominal wall and silicone tube are well documented in the literature. This case demonstrates a patient with an adhesive SBO related to a prior nephrectomy, who also had a gastric band in place, leading to a closed-loop obstruction. The closed-loop obstruction in this case was caused from the gastric band proximally and an adhesion distally, culminating in a gastric perforation. This complication of perforation is not well described in the literature and should be brought to the attention of our surgical community as a potential complication of patients with gastric bands and the potential for adhesive SBOs.
