Fundoplication after laparoscopic Heller myotomy for esophageal achalasia: what type?
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Because of the high success rate of minimally invasive surgery, a radical shift in the treatment algorithm of esophageal achalasia has occurred. Today, a laparoscopic Heller myotomy is the preferred treatment modality for achalasia. This remarkable change is due to the recognition by gastroenterologists and patients that a laparoscopic Heller myotomy gives better and more durable results than pneumatic dilatation and intrasphincteric injection of botulinum toxin injection, while it is associated to a short hospital stay and a fast recovery time. While there is agreement about the need of a fundoplication in conjunction to the myotomy, some questions still remain about the type of fundoplication: Should the fundoplication be total or partial, and in case a partial fundoplication is chosen, should it be anterior or posterior? The following review describes the data present in the literature in order to identify the best procedure that can achieve prevention or control of gastroesophageal reflux after a myotomy without impairing esophageal emptying.
