The importance of the mesh shape in preventing recurrence after Nissen fundoplication.

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
Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder and often is associated with hiatal hernia (HH). Nissen fundoplication is the most common surgical treatment method. Despite surgical treatment, recurrence rate is still high. In this study, we aimed to identify the importance of the mesh shape in preventing recurrence after Nissen fundoplication. A hundred twenty two patients who operated Nissen fundoplication owing to GERD and/or HH were evaluated. Nissen fundoplication was made all patients. Patients were divided into three groups according to hiatoplasty procedure; group 1 (V-shaped mesh), group 2 (V-shaped mesh + Fibrin glue), and group 3 (special designed mesh, Kar's mesh). Groups were compared regarding intraoperative, postoperative early- and long-term complications. Mean age was 42.75 years, and male to female ratio was 1:2.98. The mean follow-up period was 27 mounts. There was no mortality during follow-up. The most common presenting symptom was heartburn (93.4%). There wasn't difference between groups in terms of the intraoperative complications and postoperative early-term complications. The overall recurrences rate was 4.9% and dysphagia > 3 months rate was 1.6%. No recurrence was not observed in group 3, while recurrence was observed in 4 patients in group 1 (P = 0.030). Patients should be carefully selected for surgery because complication rate is high despite successful anti-reflux surgical treatment. In this study, we have used a special designed mesh. We believe that this special designed mesh can be used safely and effectively in anti-reflux surgery because recurrence and complications were not observed.
