The outcome of hiatal hernia repair and factors associated with surgical outcome in the pediatric population: a single-center experience.
Article in Annals of surgical treatment and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: Hiatal hernia in children is a rare condition, and there is limited knowledge available about the disease itself. There is currently no agreement or consensus on the treatment of hiatal hernia in the pediatric population due to lack of evidence. In this study, we were to assess our experience with hiatal hernia, including the characteristics of our patients, surgical outcomes, and factors that influence the outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 49 patients below the age of 18 years who underwent hiatal hernia repair at the Asan Medical Center between 2006 and 2021. We analyzed and compared the general characteristics and surgical outcomes based on the presence of recurrence and coexisting congenital diseases. Results: Hiatal hernia progression was found to be associated with various medical conditions; however, no significant differences in patient characteristics or surgical outcomes between those with and without comorbidities were observed. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics or outcomes between the initial and redo operations. Fundoplication was performed in 19 patients (36.7%) during the initial operation and in 7 patients (87.5%) during repeat hiatal hernia repair. Conclusion: The presence of an underlying disease didn't influence the treatment and progression of hiatal hernia. Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the clinical course between patients with recurrent hiatal hernia and those experiencing it for the first time. Additionally, the impact of fundoplication on the recurrence of hiatal hernia in pediatric patients was found to be minimal.
