Evaluation of post-operative dysphagia following anti-reflux surgery.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundAnti-reflux surgery (ARS) has known long-term complications, including dysphagia, bloat, and flatulence, among others. The factors affecting the development of post-operative dysphagia are poorly understood. We investigated the correlation of intra-operative esophagogastric junction (EGJ) characteristics and procedure type with post-operative dysphagia following ARS.
methodsRobotic ARS was performed on 197 consecutive patients with pathologic reflux utilizing EndoFLIP™ technology. Intraoperative EGJ measurements including distensibility index (DI), cross-sectional area (CSA), and high-pressure zone (HPZ) length were collected. Dysphagia was assessed pre-operatively and at 3 months post-operatively.
resultsThe median pre-operative DI for all procedures was 2.6 (IQR 1.6-4.5) mm
conclusionsPost-operative DI was similar between procedures, and there was no correlation with new or worsening post-operative dysphagia. Linx placement was associated with higher rates of new or worsening post-operative dysphagia despite a shorter post-procedure HPZ length and similar post-operative DI when compared to other methods of LES augmentation.
