Simultaneous Small Bowel Obstruction and Cecal Volvulus From an Internal Hernia Caused by Gastric Band Tubing: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
We present a unique case of a 43-year-old woman with a complex bowel obstruction caused by the connecting tubing of a gastric band placed three years prior. The tubing formed a loop with a twist acting as a noose, causing an internal hernia involving the distal ileum. The surrounding adhesions to the transverse colon also caused her mobile cecum to be distended and to be reflected upward. We managed her complex closed-loop bowel obstruction laparoscopically by lysing adhesions and transecting the gastric band tubing. The patient recovered well without sequelae, and the gastric band was later removed by her bariatric surgeon electively. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) placement used to be one of the most popular forms of bariatric surgery. It is important for abdominal surgeons to be able to recognize various surgical complications of LAGB.
