Obesity is a risk factor for internal hernia after laparoscopic or robot-assisted gastrectomy with mesenteric defect closure for gastric cancer.
Observational study in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundInternal hernia (IH) is a life-threatening complication after gastrectomy. The increase in the frequency of minimally invasive surgery is considered to be related to the increase in the frequency of IH, and mesenteric defect closure has been recommended to reduce this complication. However, IH can occur even when mesenteric defects are closed, so the risk of IH in the patients with mesenteric closure remains uncertain. We attempted to clarify the risk factors for IH in these patients.
methodsFrom 2013 to 2017, we retrospectively reviewed 310 patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y (RY) or double-tract (DT) reconstruction with mesenteric defect closure. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors.
resultsThe incidence of IH was 1.3% (n = 4). A preoperative body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m
conclusionsPreoperative obesity is an independent risk factor for IH after minimally invasive gastrectomy followed by RY or DT reconstruction with mesenteric defect closure. We need to conduct vigilant follow-up for IH, especially in these patients.
