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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThere is a lack of consensus on the optimal repair technique and the definition of good outcomes in paraesophageal hernia (PEH) repair. We reviewed long-term patient-reported outcomes of open and laparoscopic PEH repair to assist with our future surgical consent process.

methodsThis was a retrospective case-control study including all patients with PEH repair performed from 2000 through 2012 at a single center without the use of mesh. We mailed questionnaires to patients to assess reoperation, symptom control, and satisfaction.

resultsChart review identified 217 patients who underwent PEH repair. Nineteen died during the follow-up period. Of the 106 returning the questionnaire, 87 underwent laparoscopic repair, and 19 had open repair, with follow-up of 6.6 (SD 3.9) years and 7.0 (SD 4.1) years, respectively. Reoperation rates were 9.9% and 5.3%, respectively (

conclusionsLong-term patient-specific outcomes showed comparable, encouraging results between open and laparoscopic repair of PEH without mesh reinforcement. However, half of those undergoing laparoscopic repair required the use of medication for symptom control. This study adds to the literature describing long-term patient-specific outcomes and can be useful when counseling patients about PEH repair.
