Rare Delayed Complications of Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band Erosion: Contained Gastric Perforation and Bleeding Pseudoaneurysm.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) has declined in use due to long-term complications such as erosions. We report a 65-year-old man who presented with melena 15 years after LAGB placement and ultimately found to have complete intragastric LAGB erosion. His clinical course was complicated by recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, a contained gastric perforation, intra-abdominal infection, and a right gastric artery pseudoaneurysm. Management required laparoscopic band removal, advanced endoscopic procedures, and arterial embolization. This case highlights a rare but serious late complication of LAGB and emphasizes the need for continued vigilance in patients with legacy bariatric devices.
