Gastroesophageal Reflux After Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Prospective Mechanistic Study.

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
backgroundEvolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is controversial. Some authors report worsening or improvement of preoperative GERD, others the occurrence of de novo GERD between 5 and 69%.
aimsThe aims of this study are to evaluate the evolution of GERD after SG by ambulatory 24-h pH monitoring (APM) and to determine pre- and postoperative clinical and manometric factors associated with its evolution.
methodsBetween 2013 and 2015, 47 patients operated in our center performed APM before and 1 year (14.8 ± 4.9 months) after SG. GERD was defined as a percentage of time with esophageal pH < 4 (TpH < 4) > 4.2. Among them, 30 had pre- and postoperative high-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM).
resultsThirty-one patients (66%) had no preoperative GERD (group 1), and 16 had preoperative GERD (group 2). One year after SG, mean TpH < 4 increased significantly in group 1 (5.8 ± 4.6 vs. 1.8 ± 1.1%, p < 0.01) whereas it was not modified in group 2 (7.4 ± 6.6 vs. 6.6 ± 2.6%). In group 1, 16 patients (52%) had de novo GERD whereas in group 2, 7 had no more GERD, 3 improved, and 6 worsened. Maximal intragastric pressure after swallows increased significantly at postoperative HRM only in patients with de novo GERD (49.2 ± 22.0 vs. 25.4 ± 9.4 mmHg, p = 0.03). No preoperative clinical or manometric parameters were predictive of postoperative GERD.
conclusionsOne year after SG, esophageal acid exposure globally worsened, mostly because of de novo GERD, whereas 63% patients with preoperative GERD improved, without preoperative predictive clinical or manometric factor.
