Revisiting Short Gastric Division for Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The debate continues over whether short gastric vessels (SGVs) should be divided during laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) to alleviate the wrap tension. This study aimed to narratively compile evidence from laparoscopic-only studies (2005-2025) that compared the effects of dividing versus preserving the SGVs on dysphagia, gas-bloat syndrome, and reflux recurrence. We synthesized randomized trials, meta-analyses, and guidelines published between 2005 and 2025 comparing SGV division versus preservation. Across long-term randomized follow-up and multiple meta-analyses, routine SGV division did not reduce dysphagia or improve reflux outcomes. It was associated with more gas-bloat and slightly longer operative time. In contemporary LNF, using a standardized technique, routine SGV division is unnecessary, and selective division is reserved for cases with clear tension.
