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

backgroundCollis gastroplasty (CG) remains an important procedure to lengthen the esophagus when indicated in patients undergoing fundoplication for longstanding refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or large hiatal hernias. Concerns over potential sequelae of CG such as dysphagia and worsening heartburn as well as questions regarding the durability of the procedure remain a subject of debate. In this study, 3 and 4-year postoperative data is presented assessing patient quality of life (QOL) measures for those undergoing laparoscopic antireflux surgery (LARS) with and without CG.

methodsComparative review of a prospectively maintained GERD patient database was conducted between patients undergoing LARS with CG versus non-CG (NC) at two institutions between October 2004 and February 2019. Patient demographic, perioperative, and QOL data was analyzed at 3 and 4 years postoperatively using four validated instruments: the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Laryngopharyngeal Reflux QOL (LPR-QOL), Swallowing QOL (SWAL), and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQOL) surveys.

resultsA total of 214 CG and 798 NC patients were included in this study. The CG group was older (66.1 ± 12.9 vs. 59.0 ± 14.1, p < 0.001), had a higher frequency of ASA class 3 patients (39.7% vs. 29.7%), and had greater proportion of comorbid disease compared to NG. The groups were parallel in BMI (Collis 28.4 ± 5.2 kg/m

conclusionLong-term QOL outcomes after laparoscopic CG are comparable to patients treated with fundoplication alone in cases of long-standing GERD and hiatal hernias. Furthermore, CG patients enjoyed equivalent durability of the procedure without risk of subsequent dysphagia. Collis gastroplasty remains an important tool in the armamentarium of foregut surgeons.
