1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundEndoluminal fundoplication (ELF) with EsophyX is a new attractive investigational procedure for the control of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this work is to evaluate the short-term results of Nissen fundoplication (NF) after failure of ELF.

methodDuring the period April 2007-January 2010, nine patients previously treated with ELF for GERD were submitted to laparoscopic NF for persistent reflux.

resultsAll patients were symptomatic for GERD, had a pathological esophageal acid exposure at multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII pH/24 h), and all of them were on proton pump inhibitor. Mean duration of the NF was 85 min (range, 56-104). There were no intraoperative complications. One patient had a postoperative mild peritoneal bleeding treated conservatively. After a mean follow-up of 24.9 months (4-34), all patients are asymptomatic for reflux. Two patients have a mild or moderate dysphagia at follow-up. Five patients underwent MII pH/24 h 1 year after surgery. Mean total reflux time was 0.3%, and acid reflux percent time was 0.

conclusionsPatients with persistent symptomatic reflux after a failing ELF can still undergo NF with good results; the endoluminal procedure does not seem to modify the results of the laparoscopic procedure, although an increased incidence of dysphagia pos-NF may be observed.
