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
backgroundSurgical fundoplication remains integral in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by addressing gastroesophageal valve incompetence. This study introduces a novel hybrid approach, the Eversion Cruroplasty and Collar Overwrap (ECCO) procedure, aiming to combine benefits of conventional partial wrapping and posteromedial cardiopexy, considering gastric fundus anatomical peculiarities as an anti-reflux barrier.
methodsA retrospective analysis of pediatric patients presenting with refractory GERD from 2021 to 2023 was conducted. Inclusion criteria focused on primary GERD cases; secondary and redo cases were excluded. Diagnostic modalities included upper gastrointestinal contrast series and endoscopy. Demographic, operative, and postoperative data were assessed.
resultsAmong 57 cases, 8 with recurrent hiatal hernia were excluded. Enrolled cases (n = 49) had a mean age of 3.78 years and mean weight of 11.9 kg. All underwent laparoscopic ECCO procedure, with a mean operative time of 87 min. During follow-up, six children experienced transient gas-bloat, and four had temporary dysphagia to solids. Two cases required revisions for absolute failures, while three managed partial recurrences with proton pump inhibitors. Of the total 49 cases, only nine required postoperative endoscopic assessment, which revealed a fully competent cardia with adequate wrapping in four of them. The remaining 40 cases demonstrated clinical improvement with the cessation of PPIs over a mean follow-up period of 11.6 months.
conclusions'Eversion Cruroplasty' preserves crural pillar muscle excursion, avoiding segmentation seen with traditional suturing. The 'Collar Overwrap' achieves a 90% success rate, aligning the GE-junction while maintaining fundic pouch geometry, emphasizing its effectiveness and anatomical fidelity.
