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

Endoscopic gastric plication (EGP), also known as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure that reduces gastric volume through full thickness endoluminal suturing. It has demonstrated aiding weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities. It is considered safe, with low rates of severe adverse events, but early and long-term complications remain insufficiently characterized. We report two cases of EGP-related complications. The first case involves a 31-year-old woman who presented 2 years after the procedure with persistent dyspepsia and recurrent gain due to suture dehiscence, requiring conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with removal of gastric remanent. The second case describes a 24-year-old woman who developed an early postoperative hemorrhagic complication secondary to gastroepiploic vessel injury, requiring urgent surgical intervention. These cases illustrate potential EGP severe complications, ranging from early acute life-threatening events to late structural failure, emphasizing the importance of high suspicion, timely diagnosis and individualized management strategies.
