1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The LINX Reflux Management System is a surgical procedure often done in conjunction with a hiatal hernia repair to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The surgical procedure was developed as an alternative to Nissen fundoplication and is postulated to last indefinitely. Common complications of the LINX device surgery are dysphagia, postoperative pain, and gastric bleeding. One side effect that has not been reported as a complication of the surgery is dumping syndrome. We report on a possible case of dumping syndrome post hiatal hernia repair with LINX magnetic sphincter augmentation diagnosed clinically and confirmed with glucose tolerance tests.
