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

introductionThere is a complex relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD), hiatus hernia, obesity, and metabolic bariatric surgery. We report the outcomes of laparoscopic hiatus hernia repair (HHR) with BIO-A

methodsA retrospective review of 50 patients who previously underwent LSG and revisional surgery (HHR, n = 25; RYGB, n = 25) between 2011 and 2022. The modified DeMeester scoring system was used to assess the severity of the patient's GORD symptoms pre-HHR/pre-RYGB and 6 months post-op.

resultsTwenty-five patients underwent HHR with BIO-A

conclusionIn appropriately selected patients, HHR with BIO-A
