The Nissen fundoplication: indication, technical aspects and postoperative outcome.
Review in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionGastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common foregut disease, with a great impact on quality of life and with intestinal, respiratory and cardiac symptoms and implications of carcinogenesis of the oesophagus. Medical therapy often fails, due to the complex pathophysiology of GERD. Surgery can cure the disease, since it is able to restore the anti-reflux barrier. It improves quality of life and prevents carcinogenesis.
methodsReview of the literature and presentation of our own experience and data in a series of more than 4,000 evaluated patients referred for suspected reflux disease, of whom 382 have been operated on.
conclusionThe laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is the most commonly used operation technique. It provides good long-term results in the majority of patients. However, due to an increase of outflow resistance of the oesophagus this operation is associated with some postoperative side effects. Therefore, alternative anti-reflux procedures may be indicated in selected patients.
