Strangulated Diaphragmatic Hernia Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: Surgical Pitfalls and Lessons Learned.
Article in Obesity 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
introductionWith the rising number of MBS and their revisions, rare complications may start to increase as well. Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is extremely rare but potentially fatal. Its recognition is often delayed due to vague clinical presentations. PURPOSE: We report a case of strangulated diaphragmatic hernia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and gastro-gastric fistula dismantling, highlighting diagnostic and surgical pitfalls, and lessons for bariatric surgeons.
methodsWe describe the presentation, diagnostic work-up, and surgical management of a diaphragmatic hernia after RYGB.
resultsThe patient had a smooth postoperative recovery but then developed pleural effusion requiring tapping. She had recovered fully with normal follow-up clinically and radiologically.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of attention to such rare but life-threatening consequences after MBS. Precise use of energy devices intraoperatively, especially in revisional cases, is mandatory. A high index of suspicion for vague abdominal symptoms and tailored surgical strategies are essential.
