Colonic hiatal hernia leading to obstruction after minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy: a case report.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. 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
A 62-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain and signs of bowel obstruction eight months after undergoing a minimally invasive McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma. Initial imaging did not reveal a hernia, and conservative management was unsuccessful. Re-evaluation of imaging suggested a hiatal hernia, and thoracoscopic exploration confirmed a large hernia with the transverse colon herniating into the thoracic cavity. Surgical repair involved reduction of the herniated colon and repair of the diaphragmatic hiatus. The patient recovered uneventfully. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of post-esophagectomy hiatal hernias and the importance of prompt surgical intervention.
