Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair for treating patients with massive hiatal hernia and iron-deficiency anaemia.
Article in BMC surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMassive hiatal hernias may result in extraoesophageal symptoms, including iron-deficiency anaemia. However, the role played by hiatal hernias in iron-deficiency anaemia is not clearly understood. We examined the prevalence of anaemia in patients with massive hiatal hernias and the frequency of anaemia resolution after laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair at long term follow-up.
methodsPatients who underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair from June 2008 to June 2019 were enrolled in this study. We collected the patients' demographic and clinical data from their medical records, and compared the pre-surgical and post-surgical findings (at 1 week and 3 months post-surgery). All patients with adequate documentation underwent post-surgical follow-up to evaluate improvements in clinical symptoms and signs.
resultsA total of 126 patients with massive hiatal hernias underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair. Of these, 35 (27.8%) had iron-deficiency anaemia. Anaemia was resolution in all the patients and they had significantly reduced GERD-Q scores at 3 months postoperatively (P<0.01) .The mean follow-up period was 60 months. Iron-deficiency anaemia resolution after hiatal hernia repair was achieved in 93.9% of the patients.
conclusionAnaemia is common in patients with massive hiatal hernias, and most of our patients were symptomatic because of their anaemia. Moreover, in patients with massive hiatal hernias, iron-deficiency anaemia resolution is likely after laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair.
