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

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects an estimated 20% of the population in the US, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Lifestyle modifications and proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are effective in the majority of patients. However, some patients will become candidates for surgical intervention, because they have partial control of symptoms, do not want to be on long-term medical treatment, or suffer complications related to PPI. In these patients, a properly executed laparoscopic antireflux surgery controls esophageal and extra-esophageal symptoms and avoids life-long medical therapy. Important technical elements should be taken into account during the operation to avoid troublesome side effects and obtain optimal postoperative outcomes.
