Efficacy of different endoscopic treatments in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

ConclusionIn terms of short-term reduction of the HRQL score and heartburn score in patients with GERD, TIF and Stretta may be comparable to each other, and both may be more effective than PPIs. TIF may increase the LES pressure in comparison with Stretta and PPIs. PPIs may reduce the percentage of time pH  <  4.0 when compared with TIF. This evidence should be interpreted with caution given the small number of included studies and inherent heterogeneity.Registration No. CRD42020188345.
