Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 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.

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

Over the past two decades, numerous endoscopic bariatric and metabolic therapies (EBMTs) have been developed with the goal of providing additional effective and safe tools for the treatment of obesity. These treatments are an ultra-minimally invasive option for patients with class I, class II, and class III obesity. Many of these EBMTs can be utilized as primary therapies for treatment-naïve patients or as a treatment for weight regain after bariatric surgery. While the role of EBMTs is not to compete with bariatric surgery, which provides the most effective treatment of obesity, they provide greater weight loss than lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy; additionally, when combined with pharmacotherapy, they may help achieve surgical weight loss without the risk of invasive surgery. This review summarizes the most currently available EBMTs, including intragastric balloons (IGBs), endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), and endoscopic surgical revision procedures for treating obesity.
