Current status of internal hernia after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Review in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundInternal hernia is a well-known postoperative complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, it has not been considered a recognized complication for gastric cancer.
methodsWe reviewed the literature in the past decade to clarify the current status of internal hernia after gastrectomy including its incidence, high-risk factors, and treatment.
resultsThe incidence of internal hernia after gastrectomy was found to be between 0.2 and 5.63%, and the median interval time was less than 2 years. High-risk factors include laparoscopic approach, non-closure of all the mesenteric defects, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The rate of bowel resection was significantly higher than that of adhesive small bowel obstruction.
conclusionThe true incidence of internal hernia after gastrectomy is generally underestimated. Closure of all the mesenteric defects is one of the most effective methods to prevent postoperative internal hernia. Early surgical exploration is necessary when internal hernia is suspected.
