Comparison of laparoscopic Nissen and Toupet fundoplication using a propensity score matching analysis.

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
purposeLaparoscopic fundoplication (LF) has become a standard operative procedure for GERD-related diseases in Japan, although meta-analyses have mainly evaluated findings from Western countries. The propensity score matching method was used to compare and investigate the treatment outcomes of two fundoplication procedures (the Nissen and Toupet methods).
methodsAmong 474 patients who underwent initial LF from December 1994 to April 2016, we extracted 401 cases (Nissen: 92 cases, Toupet: 309 cases), excluding 73 patients in whom follow-up was insufficient. We then matched 126 of these patients (63 per group).
resultsThe esophageal acid reflux time (%) was 12.2:2.8, being higher in the Nissen group than in the Toupet group (p < 0.001). Regarding the surgical outcome, the amount of bleeding was higher in the Nissen group (p = 0.001), and the number of hospitalization days following surgery was longer (p = 0.003). Furthermore, a significantly rate of postoperative difficulty in swallowing (%) was observed in the Nissen group, at 13:0 (p = 0.004). The recurrence rate (%) was 8:3, with no difference between the two groups (p = 0.243).
conclusionsAlthough there was no marked difference in the recurrence rate between the two procedures, postoperative dysphagia was observed at a higher frequency with the Nissen method than the Toupet method.
