Restoration of normal distensive characteristics of the esophagogastric junction after fundoplication.
Article in Annals of surgery, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
objectiveTo study the mechanical characteristics of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) of postfundoplication patients and compare them with previously reported data on normal subjects and GERD patients.
methodsEight normal subjects, 9 GERD patients, and 8 fundoplication patients were studied with concurrent manometry, fluoroscopy, and stepwise controlled barostat distention of the EGJ. The minimal barostat pressure required to open the EGJ during the interswallow period was determined. Thereafter, barium swallows were imaged in 5-mm Hg increments of intrabag pressure. EGJ diameter and length were measured at each pressure during deglutitive relaxation.
resultsEGJ opening diameter during deglutitive relaxation was on average 0.5 cm greater in GERD patients compared with normal subjects and fundoplication patients (P < 0.05). EGJ opening pressure and opening diameter were comparable between normal subjects and fundoplication patients; however, the EGJ length was 32% longer in fundoplication patients.
conclusionsFundoplication restores distensibility of the EGJ to a level similar to normal subjects. Since trans-EGJ flow is related to EGJ length and EGJ diameter, these findings suggest that retrograde flow through the EGJ would be decreased by both a reduction in diameter and an increase in length of the EGJ.
