Long-term efficacy of total versus posterior partial fundoplication in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionLaparoscopic fundoplication remains the standard treatment for patients with severe gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Multiple randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the two most commonly performed surgical techniques, total and posterior partial fundoplication (Nissen [NF] and Toupet [TF]), in terms of symptom control and treatment failure in patients without subsequent dysmotility disorders. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of these two techniques with regard to the long-term effect on reflux control and associated dysphagia.
methodsThe MEDLINE
resultsEight studies (all RCTs) on 1,545 patients undergoing NF or TF were eligible for inclusion in this meta-analysis. There were 799 patients in the NF group and 746 in the TF group. In the random effects model analysis, the incidence of long-term recurrence of GORD was not statistically different between the NF and TF cohorts (odds ratio [OR]: 0.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34-1.41, z=1.01,
conclusionsThe findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis on symptomatic GORD appear to be in favour of partial posterior fundoplication (TF) as the optimal treatment. It provides equivalent outcomes in reflux symptom control with a lower risk of postoperative dysphagia compared with total fundoplication (NF).
