To Fix or Not to Fix: Effect of Gastropexy on Esophageal Manometric Values Post Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundLaparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is widely performed for severe obesity but is associated with postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal motility disorders. Gastropexy has been proposed to preserve gastric anatomy and reduce complications.
aimTo evaluate the effect of gastropexy on esophageal manometric values following LSG.
methodsA randomized controlled study was conducted on 40 patients undergoing LSG at our Hospital, (20 with gastropexy, 20 without). Esophageal manometry was performed preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Postoperative symptoms, complications, and percentage of total body weight loss (%TBWL) were assessed.
resultsIn the non-gastropexy group, there was a significant decrease in lower esophageal sphincter (LES) resting pressure and distal contractile integral (DCI) postoperatively (p = 0.002 and p = 0.01, respectively). The gastropexy group showed preserved LES pressure and DCI. Postoperative GERD symptoms, vomiting, and food intolerance were significantly less in the gastropexy group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in %TBWL between groups (p = 0.86). Operative time was longer in the gastropexy group (p < 0.001).
conclusionGastropexy step during LSG may play a role in preservation of the esophageal manometric values and reduces postoperative GERD and vomiting, although it increases operative time. Larger long-term trials are needed for confirmation.
