Is there a role for anything other than a Nissen's operation?

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
backgroundThe Nissen fundoplication is the most frequently applied antireflux operation worldwide. The aim of this review was to compare laparoscopic Nissen with partial fundoplication.
methodsNine randomized trials comparing several types of wraps were analyzed, four for the comparison Nissen vs. Toupet and five for the comparison Toupet or Nissen vs. anterior fundoplication. Similar comparisons in nonrandomized studies were also included.
resultsDysphagia rates and reflux recurrence were not related to preoperative esophageal persistalsis independent of the selected procedure. Overall, Nissen fundoplication revealed slightly better reflux control, but was associated with more side effects, such as early dysphagia and gas bloat. Advantages of an anterior approach were only reported by one group. A significantly higher reflux recurrence rate for anterior fundoplication was observed in all other comparisons.
conclusionTailoring antireflux surgery according to esophageal motility is not indicated. At present, the relevant factor for selection of a Nissen or Toupet fundoplication is personal experience. Anterior fundoplication offers less effective long-term reflux control.
