Minimally Invasive Surgery Should Be the Standard of Care for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundIt is unclear if minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been universally embraced for paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair. The aims of this study were: (a) to assess the national utilization of MIS for PEH repair and (b) to compare the perioperative outcomes between MIS and open procedures
methodsA retrospective population-based analysis was performed using the National Inpatient Sample for the period 2000-2013. Adult patients (≥18 years old) who underwent PEH repair were included. Linear and logistic regression, adjusted for patient and hospital characteristics, were used to assess the effect of minimally invasive surgery on patient outcomes
resultsA total of 63,812 patients were included. An abdominal approach was used in 60,087 (94.2%) patients and a thoracic approach in 3725 (5.8%) cases. Between 2000 and 2013, the rate of MIS significantly increased in abdominal and thoracic procedures. Patients undergoing MIS were less likely to experience postoperative infection, bleeding, cardiac failure, renal failure, respiratory failure, shock, and had a lower inpatient mortality. In addition, MIS significantly reduced the length of hospital stay and the overall cost.
conclusionsMIS is associated with significantly better perioperative outcomes and lower costs. These data strongly support the MIS approach as standard of care for PEH repair.
