Factors Associated With Weight Loss After Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding in Adolescents With Severe Obesity.
Article in JPGN reports, 2023. 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
Childhood obesity is associated with many comorbidities. Bariatric surgery is known to be efficient for reducing weight in adolescents. Objectives: The primary outcome was to identify somatic or psychosocial factors associated with success at 24 months after a laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) procedure in our cohort of adolescents with severe obesity. Secondary endpoints were to describe weight loss outcomes, comorbidity resolution, and complications. Methods: We have retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients who had LAGB placed between 2007 and 2017. Factors associated with success at 24 months after LAGB were researched, with success being defined as positive percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) at 24 months. Results: Forty-two adolescents underwent a LAGB procedure, the mean %EWL was 34.1% at 24 months, with improvement in most comorbidities and without major complications. Having lost weight before surgery was associated with success, whereas a high body mass index at surgery was associated with a higher risk of failure. No other factor was found to be associated with success. Conclusion: Comorbidities mostly improved 24 months after LAGB and no major complication occurred. Having lost weight before surgery was associated with a successful surgery, whereas a high body mass index at surgery increases the risk of failure.
