Risk factors of dumping syndrome after fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux in children.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeIn postoperative cases of fundoplication, the gastric emptying ability is promoted and sometimes exhibits dumping syndrome. Dumping syndrome often goes unrecognized in children. Furthermore, the risk factors for postoperative dumping syndrome are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of developing dumping syndrome after fundoplication.
methodsA retrospective chart review of all consecutive patients between January 2003 and March 2018 (190 patients) who had fundoplication at our clinic was conducted. Regarding the risk factors of dumping syndrome, gender, age and body weight at the time of surgery, neurological impairment, severe scoliosis, microgastria, chromosomal abnormalities, complex cardiac anomalies, gastrostomy, and laparoscopic surgery were retrospectively studied.
results17 patients (9%) developed dumping syndrome post-operatively. Multivariate analysis showed that significant risk factors for dumping syndrome included: undergoing surgery within 12 months of age (adjusted OR 10.3, 95% CI 2.6-45.2), severe scoliosis (adjusted OR 19.3, 95% CI 4.4-91.1), and microgastria (adjusted OR 26.5, 95% CI 1.4-896.4).
conclusionsWe identified that: age at fundoplication being within 12 months of age, severe scoliosis, and microgastria were risk factors for dumping syndrome after fundoplication, and that this information should be explaining to the family before conducting the fundoplication.
