Recurrent Asthma Exacerbations Secondary to Gastric Stenosis After Gastric Band Slippage: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Respirology 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
Recurrent asthma exacerbations despite optimal therapy warrant investigation for alternative causes. In this setting, silent aspiration is a key but often forgotten trigger of airway inflammation that should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present a patient with long-standing severe Type 2 asthma complicated by recurrent exacerbations of an infective nature that was ultimately found to be associated with gastric band slippage causing gastric stenosis and delayed gastric emptying. Exacerbations ceased after surgical intervention and removal of the band. The report highlights the importance of considering gastrointestinal causes, particularly in people with prior gastric surgery, as a reason for poor asthma control and repeat exacerbations. We review literature pertaining to this field and emphasise the need for a multidisciplinary approach (including surgical intervention) to identify and effectively treat silent aspiration.
