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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of a port stapling device to simplify and improve port implantation in laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).

methodsFrom November 2005 to September 2006, a prospective study was conducted on 23 consecutive patients who underwent LAGB with Swedish adjustable gastric banding. Patients were randomized to either conventional titanium-port implantation or port stapling using the "Velocity" device.

resultsNo differences in age, body weight, body mass index, fascia depth or incision length were reported between the groups. Port implantation time was significantly less using port stapling (90+/-24 s) compared to conventional port implantation (521+/-138 s). Port related complaints postoperatively and at follow-up were equal in both groups.

conclusionsPort stapling is an excellent tool to facilitate port implantation, particularly in massively obese patients with a thick abdominal wall.
