Efficacy and safety of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for obesity patients: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06299644 (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty Technique Comparison for Weight Loss Using the Endomina Plicating Device), which is not on this map. Cited by 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive, effective, and safe technique for weight loss intervention. Since a relatively small number of cases were present in previous studies, this study aimed to elucidate the efficacy and safety of ESG.
methodsRelevant publications were identified through searching PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science before March 1, 2019. The percentage of total body weight loss (%TBWL), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and the adverse event rate in each follow-up session were extracted, pooled, and analyzed. Forest plots were graphed based on random effects models.
resultsA total of 1542 patients from nine studies were eligible for analysis. The pooled results of %TBWL at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were 8.78% (p = 0.000), 11.85% (p = 0.000), 14.47% (p = 0.024), and 16.09% (p = 0.063), respectively. The pooled results of %EWL at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months were 31.16% (p = 0.000), 43.61% (p = 0.000), 53.14% (p = 0.000), and 59.08% (p = 0.015), respectively. Finally, the pooled rate of mild adverse events was 72% (p < 0.01), and the pooled estimate of severe adverse events was only 1% (p = 0.08).
conclusionAlthough the conventional surgical sleeve gastrectomy is the gold standard for bariatric surgery, ESG could be a promising minimally invasive alternative for treating obesity with satisfactory efficacy and low risk.
