Outcomes of hiatal hernia repair after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: largest retrospective cohort study to date.

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
backgroundRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the optimal operation for obesity and concomitant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Post-RYGB de novo or recurrent hiatal hernias (HH) can lead to GERD and nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms that require subsequent HH repair (HHR).
objectiveDescribe the evaluation, surgical indications, and outcomes of HHR post-RYGB.
settingUniversity hospital, USA.
methodsA retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent HHR after RYGB over 15 years was performed. Demographic and clinical data (including body mass index (BMI), preoperative work-up, operative details, and postoperative outcomes) were analyzed.
resultsForty-five patients (age of 54.8 ± 9.3 years, BMI of 31.3 ± 6.7 kg/m
conclusionsIn this largest series, to date, documenting post-RYGB HHR outcomes, patients had complex symptomatology, and HHR was often accompanied by additional operations. While most patients experienced improved symptoms, many still required antacid therapy. Adequate preoperative workup, careful patient selection, and outcome expectations management are important, given the variability of symptom resolution after surgery.
