How a modified Nissen procedure works: a mechanistic study using intraoperative esophageal high-resolution manometry.

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
objectiveWe aimed at demonstrating how a modified Nissen procedure works by analyzing intraoperatively the variations of the low esophageal sphincter pressure values using high resolution manometry.
methodsThis study included 15 patients with documented gastroesophageal reflux disease who underwent a laparoscopic modified Nissen procedure. Data regarding the changes in the pressure values were recorded at each step of the procedures using high resolution manometry and after the progressive insufflation of air in the stomach. Categorical data were compared between the preoperative and postoperative periods using Fisher's test, and continuous data were compared using Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test. Preoperative versus postoperative variations in continuous data were assessed using Wilcoxon's non-parametric test for paired data.
resultsIntraoperative manometric data showed a rise of basal LES pressure until the creation of the wrap. An evident increase of pressure values was recorded after gastric air insufflation, as consequence of the increase of intragastric pressure. No intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed. All patients experienced a significant reduction in terms of intensity and frequency of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and no patients complained of dysphagia.
conclusionsIntraoperative high resolution manometry was feasible in all patients and demonstrated that the modified Nissen procedure works by increasing the LES pressure in response to gastric distension, without impeding the progression of the bolus into the stomach.
