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

purposeMedical devices benefit patients living with overweight or obesity, but studies in the adolescent population are lacking. The goal of this study was to collect information on the performance and safety of a swallowable intragastric balloon program (SGBP) in adolescent patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsData were collected retrospectively on patients aged 15 to 17 years with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 kg/m

resultsA total of 91 patients, 69 (75.8%) female and 22 (24.2%) male, underwent SGBP and completed follow-up through SGB passage at 4 months. Baseline mean ± SD age, weight, and BMI were 16.4 ± 0.77, 99.70 ± 21.33 kg, and 35.60 ± 5.59 kg/m

conclusionThe SGBP provides safe and effective short-term weight loss in adolescents living with overweight and obesity.
