pH Scores in Hiatal Repair with Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication.
Article in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesTransoral incisionless fundoplication is an alternative to traditional laparoscopic fundoplications. Recently, hiatal hernia repair combined with transoral incisionless fundoplication has become an accepted modification of the original procedure; however, outcomes information, particularly objective pH monitoring, has been sparse. We retrospectively review the subjective and objective outcomes of transoral incisionless fundoplication combined with hiatal hernia repair.
methodsNinety-seven consecutive patients presenting for reflux evaluation were reviewed for outcomes after evaluation and treatment. Fifty-five patients proceeded to hiatal hernia repair with transoral incisionless fundoplication. Twenty-nine patients (53%) were found to have matched preoperative and postoperative validated surveys and pH evaluations.
resultsThere were no serious complications. The mean followup was 296 days (SD, 117 days). The mean Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life score improved from 33.7 (SD, 22.0) to 9.07 (SD, 13.95),
conclusionsIn this retrospective review, hiatal hernia repair combined with transoral incisionless fundoplication significantly improved outcomes in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease in both subjective Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life and Reflux Symptom Index measurements as well as in objective pH scores.
