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

introductionAll the bariatric procedures have evolved greatly over the past decades and laparoscopic greater curvature plication (LGCP) is one of the quite recently introduced techniques lacking systematic evaluation.

aimTo compare and summarize the current data in the literature in regard to the effect of gastric plication on obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines and registered at PROSPERO under the registration number CRD42018114314. The literature in English and German was searched using the MEDLINE (PubMed) and BJS databases for studies published in the last 10 years. A meta-analysis was performed focusing on the effects of this operation on weight loss, glycemia control and improvement of comorbidities.

resultsMean preoperative body mass index (BMI) ranged from 34.42 to 46.3 kg/m

conclusionsDespite the quality of most of the included studies being low, the present meta-analysis revealed that, in the short term, gastric plication is an effective measure for weight loss, while the effect on diabetes mellitus type 2 is not statistically significant.
