Key Words	Body weight; Endoscopy; Evidence-based practice; Obesity; Safety
Core Tip	Endoscopic gastroplasty treatments were significantly better in reducing total body weight, excessive weight, and average weight among obese population. No significant difference between endoscopic transoral outlet reduction and full-thickness suturing plus argon plasma mucosal coagulation. Lack of comparative, long-term follow-up and randomized studies, reporting and selection bias, high level of heterogeneity were the major limitations in the currently available meta-analyses.
