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

introductionThere has been an increase in the number of patients seeking treatment after an anti-reflux surgical procedure. The objective of this study is to describe high-resolution manometry (HRM) topography as it relates to the post-fundoplication anatomy.

methodsRetrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was conducted to identify patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and HRM at Creighton University Medical Center (CUMC) between November 2008 and October 2010, for symptoms after a previous fundoplication. Patients were categorized as having intact, intrathoracic, disruptured, twisted, or slipped fundoplication based on endoscopic findings.

resultsSixty-one patients {intact, 17(28%), disrupted, 2(3%), twisted, 3(5%), intra-thoracic, 18(30%), slipped, 21(34%)} are included in this study. A double high-pressure zone (HPZ) configuration was identified in both intra-thoracic and slipped fundoplication. This was not noted in appropriately positioned fundoplications. In intra-thoracic fundoplications, the HPZ below the fundoplication was lower pressure and showed respiratory variations. In slipped fundoplication, the higher HPZ had lower pressure and no respiratory variations. In appropriately positioned fundoplication, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and extent of relaxation in the single HPZ correlated with intact (normal pressure and good relaxation), disrupted (low pressure and good relaxation), and twisted (high pressure with incomplete relaxation) fundoplication. Patients with only a recurrent para-esophageal hernia had characteristics of an appropriately positioned fundoplication.

conclusionLES complex HRM findings correlate well with anatomical status of the fundoplication.
