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

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication is the standard operation for the surgical control of gastro-oesophageal reflux in many centres. However, in some patients, it can be followed by troublesome side effects, and to minimise the risk of these, partial fundoplications have been recommended. One approach is to construct an anterior 180° partial fundoplication. Randomised trials and a large outcome study have confirmed that in most patients, this approach achieves effective reflux control, as well as a reduced incidence of side effects. In this paper, we describe our approach to this procedure. The procedure entails full dissection of the oesophageal hiatus, hiatal repair with posteriorly placed sutures and then construction of an anterior 180° partial fundoplication using three sutures to attach the anterior gastric fundus to the oesophagus and right hiatal pillar, and two further sutures between the fundus and the apex of the hiatus.
