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

introductionEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reduces stomach volume and length using an endoscope suturing device, creating a sleeve-like shape to limit food intake and promote weight loss. ESG has been proven to be more effective in promoting weight loss than dietary and lifestyle changes, with a low incidence of complications. In Colombia, data regarding the effectiveness and safety of this procedure are lacking.

methodsThis descriptive, retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent ESG between January 2022 and July 2023. Demographic and clinical characteristics were descriptively analyzed. Changes in weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and percentage of Total Body Weight Loss (%TBWL) at 1, 3, and 6 months were assessed.

resultsNinety patients were included in this study. The median baseline weight was 85.5 kg, and the median BMI was 33 kg/m

conclusionsESG is a safe and effective adjuvant treatment for obesity. This study showed significant BMI and %TBWL reduction at the 3- and 6-months post-procedure follow-ups, with a low incidence of minor complications.
