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

In severe gastroesophageal reflux disease fundoplication is a sound therapeutic alternative if long-term treatment with proton pump inhibitors is not a viable option. However, careful patient selection is mandatory and reflux disease has to be proven objectively. Patients who are particularly prone to develop postoperative functional side effects should be excluded.For surgical treatment either a 360° wrap (Nissen) or a 270° wrap (Toupet) can be performed with more or less equivalent results. The common technical denominators are to achieve a loose, short wrap. In both instances the cuff has to be fixed securely with non-absorbable sutures and any damage to the vagal innervation has to be avoided.Long-term reflux prevention is excellent and superior to medical treatment; nonetheless, functional side effects still occur and to keep the incidence as low as possible preoperative selection of patients is essential.
