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
Background and Aims: A patient with a prior lung transplant and surgical fundoplication had severe recurrent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic retrograde microaspiration, which both threatened his graft function and elevated his risk for retransplant. He was deemed a poor candidate for surgical fundoplication. We therefore aimed to perform a transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF). Methods: The gastroesophageal flap valve was loose on diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy. We used a plication device to repair the existing fundoplication, forming a 270°, 3-cm wrap using 12 H-type fasteners. Results: Erosive esophagitis improved from Los Angeles grade C to A and acid exposure time from 30% to 5%. Heartburn symptoms resolved. He underwent repeat lung transplant. Conclusions: The video in this case demonstrates the technique for TIF after surgical fundoplication. This case also supports the use of TIF as rescue therapy for post-lung transplant GERD.
