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

backgroundVertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) has become the most commonly performed operation for the treatment of morbid obesity (JAMA. 312(9):959-61, 2014). Nevertheless, VSG is still associated with some early postoperative complications (JAMA. 312(9):959-61, 2014; Surg Obes Relat Dis. 9(5):816-29, 2013; Obes Surg. 27(8):1944-1951, 2017). Hiatal hernia is a complication that has been widely described in the literature, but not in the immediate postoperative course (Obes Surg. 17(7):962-9, 2007). We, herein, report a case of an acute postoperative hiatal hernia after sleeve gastrectomy.

methodsA 29-year-old female (BMI 38.54 kg/m

resultsPostoperatively, the patient started on the usual bariatric clinical pathway which she tolerated well and was discharged on the POD 4. The operative time was 156 min. The estimated blood loss was 50 ml.

conclusionsOur report highlights the need for more broad differential diagnosis in early post sleeve gastrectomy patients. Those who are presented with nausea and vomiting in the early postoperative period should be evaluated for possible post sleeve hiatal hernia with a potential risk of strangulation.
