Roux-en-Y reconstruction is superior to billroth I reconstruction in reducing reflux esophagitis after distal gastrectomy: special relationship with the angle of his.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between the angle of His in Roux-en-Y (RY) or Billroth I (BI) reconstruction and reflux esophagitis after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
methodsResults for 47 patients undergoing BI reconstruction and 38 patients undergoing RY reconstruction were examined retrospectively. The angle of His and the incidence of reflux esophagitis were determined, and the quality of life (QOL) was evaluated with the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS).
resultsThe angle of His was significantly greater in patients who underwent BI compared with RY reconstruction, as well as in patients with reflux esophagitis. Scores for reflux, diarrhea, and total symptoms on the GSRS were significantly better in the RY group than in the BI group.
conclusionsThe angle of His is an important determinant of reflux esophagitis following distal gastrectomy. The decreased angle of His in patients after RY compared with BI reconstruction may contribute significantly to the reduced incidence of reflux esophagitis and improved QOL in patients who undergo RY reconstruction.
