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
backgroundHiatal hernia is common in patients with severe obesity undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery. Although concomitant hiatal hernia repair during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has been widely adopted, long-term data beyond 5 years remain limited, and the clinical relevance of anatomical recurrence is still poorly defined.
objectivesTo evaluate the 10-year recurrence rate, predictors of failure, and clinical outcomes following concomitant sleeve gastrectomy and hiatal hernia repair.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter cohort study analyzed 111 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy with concomitant hiatal hernia repair between 2014 and 2015. Complete-case analysis included only patients with assessable recurrence status at follow-up. The primary outcome was anatomical recurrence (> 2 cm transhiatal migration of the gastric sleeve). Secondary outcomes included reintervention, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and weight loss.
resultsAmong 111 patients, 108 were analyzed. Mean age was 50.1 ± 11.6 years, 80.6% female, mean baseline BMI 42.7 ± 5.8 kg/m², and mean follow-up was 93.0 ± 22.7 months (7.7 ± 1.9 years). Hernia recurrence occurred in 14 patients (13.0%). Among these, 5 (35.7%) underwent reintervention, while 9 (64.3%) were managed conservatively. Freedom from recurrence was 98.1% at 5 years and 68.9% at 10 years, although the 10-year estimate should be interpreted cautiously. Hernia size ≥ 5 cm and postoperative GERD were associated with recurrence (OR 5.0; 95% CI 1.2-20.0; P=0.035; OR 4.97; 95% CI 1.56-17.53; p = 0.008). Reintervention was required in 11 patients (10.2%), all with symptomatic GERD.
conclusionsConcomitant sleeve gastrectomy and hiatal hernia repair were associated with acceptable long-term outcomes in this multicenter cohort. Reintervention was more often associated with postoperative reflux-related symptoms than with anatomical recurrence alone, while many anatomical recurrences were managed conservatively.
