Relationship Between Kyphosis and Postoperative Gastroesophageal Reflux After Proximal Gastrectomy.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: The prevalence of kyphosis is increasing with increasing life expectancy. One of the most notable gastrointestinal complications is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with kyphosis. In this study, we investigated the association between kyphosis and the incidence of postoperative GERD in patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy (PG), a procedure with a particularly high risk of GERD. Methods: In total, 54 consecutive patients who underwent PG between 2009 and 2023 met the inclusion criteria. The thoracic/lumbar angle ratio (T/L ratio) derived from sagittal computed tomography was performed to preoperatively assess kyphosis, defined as a T/L ratio ≥ 1.25. Results: Fifteen patients (27.8%) had kyphosis. Overall, postoperative GERD occurred in seven patients (13.0%). Preoperative albumin levels were significantly lower in the Kyphosis group than in the Normal group ( Conclusion: Kyphosis was significantly associated with the occurrence of postoperative GERD in patients who underwent PG. Alternative preventive measures may be considered when patients with kyphosis undergo PG.
