Quality of life after collis gastroplasty for short esophagus in patients with paraesophageal hernia.
Article in The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundCollis gastroplasty is an important component of laparoscopic giant paraesophageal hernia (GPEH) repair in patients with persistent shortened esophagus after aggressive laparoscopic mobilization. Concerns remain, however, regarding symptomatic outcomes compared with fundoplication alone. This study assessed the impact of Collis gastroplasty on quality of life after laparoscopic GPEH repair.
methodsWe performed 795 nonemergent laparoscopic GPEH repairs with fundoplication (with Collis, n = 454; fundoplication alone, n = 341). Radiographic follow-up and symptom assessment were obtained a median 22 months and 20 months, respectively, after fundoplication alone and 36 and 33 months, respectively, after Collis (p < 0.001). Radiographic recurrence, reoperation for recurrent hernia or intolerable symptoms, overall symptom improvement, and quality of life were examined.
resultsCompared with fundoplication alone, Collis patients had significantly larger GPEH (p = 0.027) and fewer comorbidities (p = 0.002). Radiographic recurrences were similar (p = 0.353). Symptom improvement was significant for both (p < 0.001), although Collis was associated with better pain resolution (p < 0.001) and less gas bloat (p = 0.003). Quality of life was good to excellent in 88% (90% Collis versus 86% fundoplication alone, p = 0.17).
conclusionsSymptomatic outcomes after laparoscopic fundoplication with Collis gastroplasty are excellent and comparable with those of fundoplication alone. These results confirm that utilization of Collis gastroplasty, based on intraoperative assessment for shortened esophagus, is not detrimental to the overall outcome or quality of life associated with the laparoscopic approach to GPEH. Collis gastroplasty is recommended as an important procedure in the surgeon's armamentarium for laparoscopic repair of GPEH.
