Severe Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia Repair During a Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery in a Morbidly Obese Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Morbid obesity increases the average risk of a patient developing a paraesophageal or hiatal hernia. Paraesophageal hernias (PEH) include several types, and their treatment is indubitably one of the most contentious topics in minimally invasive surgery. Though it is rare for PEH to manifest as a strangulated, volatilized intrathoracic stomach with infection, the increased risk of mortality is an indication for many to pursue surgical repair. Moreover, morbidly obese individuals represent a substantial rate of failure of PEH repairs. The modes of confirmation diagnostics are barium swallow or upper endoscopy. This case study focuses on a 64-year-old female who presented with several comorbidities, was appropriately evaluated for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, and was previously identified to have a severe type III PEH with grade IV configuration. Additionally, the pathological finding from the extracted specimen was significant for helicobacter pylori gastritis.
