Hill Modified, a Novel Approach: Technique Description and Experience in Patients with Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

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
backgroundGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease among patients with obesity, with an associated prevalence of 39 to 61% between the population who attends a bariatric surgery evaluation. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a popular and valid option for obesity treatment, even though the literature is ambivalent regarding the increase or decrease in GERD after this surgery. Thus, it is necessary to propose new surgical techniques as a solution to GERD in patients with a concomitant LSG or with a history of it. Therefore, we present a modified technique based on Hill's gastropexy described originally in 1967.
objectiveDescribe and propose a surgical procedure for GERD management based on the Hill technique that can be applied in all patients who undergo an LSG or with a history of it.
methodsRetrospective observational study with a prospective database in which we described, Hill modified technique in a group of 16 patients with GERD who underwent this procedure concomitantly with an LSG or who presented with GERD after LSG with a 3-year follow-up. The surgical technique is based on an intra-abdominal esophageal length of a minimum of 3 cm and posterior fixation of the gastroesophageal junction to the crus.
resultsPostoperative controls have shown satisfactory results in the control and management of GERD symptoms in this group of patients, with very few to no complications associated with the procedure and without reintervention or medication out of the standard protocol.
conclusionHill modified technique can be used and presented as an option for GERD control in patients with LSG.
