Trans-hiatal small-bowel herniation after laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a case report and literature review.

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
Trans-hiatal hernia is a rare but serious complication after total gastrectomy. We report a 71-year-old man who underwent laparoscopic radical total gastrectomy, D2 lymphadenectomy, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction for cardia adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography (CT) on postoperative day 17 showed intrathoracic displacement of the esophagojejunal anastomosis without obstruction. Ten months later, he developed positional upper abdominal pain, and CT revealed herniation of the anastomosis and a dilated jejunal loop through the esophageal hiatus into the right thoracic cavity. Emergency laparoscopic reduction and hiatal repair were performed. The bowel was viable, and crural, and pleural defects were repaired with sutures. Recovery was uneventful. Early postoperative intrathoracic migration of the anastomosis may be a warning sign of delayed trans-hiatal hernia, and symptomatic patients require prompt CT diagnosis and surgical repair.
