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

backgroundRecurrent symptoms after laparoscopic fundoplication (LF) are not fully understood, with ongoing research focusing on their mechanisms. This study aimed to validate the Padova Classification, a postoperative high-resolution manometry (HRM) framework to distinguish functioning from defective fundoplications.

methodsProspectively collected data from consecutive patients who underwent post-LF HRM (2010-2025) were analyzed and categorized as functioning and effective LF (FELF), post-fundoplication outflow obstruction (PFOO), and ineffective neo-barrier (INB). Primary analysis involved between-group comparisons. Padova Classification diagnostic accuracy was evaluated against a composite reference standard (clinical, radiological, endoscopic, and pH-monitoring criteria) by calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for each diagnostic category. Diagnostic performance of postoperative integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) for identifying PFOO was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. KEY

resultsAmong 373 patients (42.4% female; median age 54 years, median BMI 25.9 kg/m

conclusionsThis study confirms that the Padova Classification demonstrates strong performance in assessing postoperative LF function.
