Fixation of the Esophagus to Diaphragmatic Hiatus as a Routine Step in Hiatal Hernia Repair During Bariatric Surgery: How to do it? A Multimedia Article.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2025. 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
introductionThis approach aims to reduce postoperative intrathoracic migration (ITM) of the esophagus and upper gastric tube, decreasing the recurrence of hiatal hernia (HH) and the development of "de novo" HH after Hiatal hernia repair (HHR) if indicated in bariatric surgery, especially laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
methodsIn performing LSG, HHR is conducted if indicated based on involving both pre-operative and intra-operative evaluations. Following this, our innovative technique is applied, which involves esophageal fixation to the diaphragmatic hiatus after a complete dissection of the phreno-esophageal membrane to free the full length of the intra-abdominal esophagus. This is accomplished through two distinct methodologies: interrupted suture fixation and continuous suture fixation using a 2/0 Ti-Cron
resultsAll patients are discharged from the hospital the next day and followed up at the clinic after the end of the first and second weeks, then after 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
conclusionCombining esophageal fixation with HHR during LSG is assumed to reduce ITM and the possibility of HH recurrence, improving patient quality of life.
