The association of preexisting gastroesophageal reflux disease with thirty-day intervention following sleeve gastrectomy using the ACS-MBSAQIP database.

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
introductionSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most performed bariatric operation in the United States. While weight loss following SG may lead to resolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), it is also possible that SG anatomy can lead to new or worsening GERD. The purpose of our study was to determine if there is an association between a preoperative diagnosis of GERD and 30-day interventions following SG.
methodsAll adult patients undergoing first-time, elective, minimally invasive SG for morbid obesity from 2015 to 2019 were identified within the American College of Surgeons Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Quality Improvement Program Database (ACS-MBSAQIP). The association between preoperative GERD and 30-day interventions, including treatment for dehydration, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and reoperation, were investigated. To control for confounding variables and ensure a balanced comparison between cohorts, propensity score matching was used.
resultsA total of 502,995 patients met inclusion criteria; 137,518 (27.3%) had a preoperative diagnosis of GERD. After 1:1 matching, patients with a preoperative diagnosis of GERD were more likely to be evaluated in the emergency department, undergo outpatient treatment of dehydration, and to be admitted to the hospital for treatment of dehydration within 30 days of SG.
conclusionA preoperative diagnosis of GERD is associated with more 30-day re-interventions following SG. The sequela of these interventions with respect to the long-term success of SG requires further investigation.
