Feasibility and Outcomes of Simultaneous Gastric Bypass with Paraesophageal Hernia Repair in Elderly Patients.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundParaesophageal hernias (PEH) have a higher incidence in patients with obesity. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with concomitant PEH repair is established as a valid surgical option for PEH management in patients with obesity. The safety and feasibility of this approach in the elderly population are not well elucidated.
methodsWe performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients aged 65 years and older who underwent simultaneous PEH repair and RYGB from 2008 to 2022. Patient demographics, hernia characteristics, postoperative complications, and weight loss data were collected. Obesity-related medical conditions' resolution rates were evaluated at the last follow-up. A matched paired t-test and Pearson's test were used to assess continuous and categorical parameters, respectively.
resultsA total of 40 patients (82.5% female; age, 69.2 ± 3.6 years; BMI, 39.4 ± 4.7 kg/m
conclusionsThe safety and effectiveness of simultaneous PEH repair and RYGB are adequate for the elderly population. Patient selection is crucial to reduce postoperative complications. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to fully assess the impact of this surgery on elderly patients with obesity.
