Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG): indications and results-a systematic review.
Synthesis in Updates in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Obesity is a major global health problem and at the same time a financial burden for social security systems. For a long time, conventional lifestyle interventions have tried unsuccessfully to find a solution. It has been proven that only interventions that ultimately address the central control centers of hunger, appetite and satiety will lead to sustained weight loss. As a result, metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has become the gold standard in the treatment of obesity and has been shown to be effective and safe in both the short and long term. Processed via the gut-brain axis, MBS not only leads to weight loss, but also-and, in addition, independently through the modification of the intestinal tract in bypass surgery-to a significant remission rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus, the typical co-morbidity of obesity. However, MBS is not suitable for all patients. Some patients are ineligible due to a high-risk profile or do not wish to undergo surgery, whilst others do not meet the criteria for MBS but still suffer from obesity. This treatment gap has been a driving force behind the development of endoscopic solutions such as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). ESG offers a less invasive, endoluminal and anatomy-sparing alternative that reduces gastric volume by suturing tissue folds along the greater curvature. Such a reduction in gastric volume, which is also one principle of action of MBS, can induce earlier satiety and lead to weight loss. The evidence behind this procedure, in particular its efficacy and safety, should be objectified through this review.
