Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication for gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatus hernia: proposal for standardization using the "critical view" concept.

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
Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication has gained progressive consideration in the management of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatus hernia. Previous studies showed equivalent results in terms of reflux control with lower rate of side effects compared to the Nissen fundoplication. However, multiple technical variations may account for the long-lasting reputation of decreased durability and poor long-term reflux control. Inspired by the "critical view" concept, a step-by-step laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication is described and illustrated. During the study period, 2012-2017, 348 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication according to a standardized procedure. A large hiatus hernia was present in 39% of patients, and 14% had volvulus of the intrathoracic stomach. Sixty-four (18.4%) patients had one or more previously failed antireflux procedures. The median follow-up was 37 months (range 12-61). The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health-Related Quality of Life score significantly improved compared to baseline (p < 0.001), and 77% of patients were off proton-pump inhibitors. The proposed standardization of the Toupet fundoplication based on a "critical-view" concept may help to improve reproducibility, clinical outcomes, and teaching of this procedure.
