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 lower esophageal high-pressure zone (HPZ) consists of the intrinsic lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the diaphragmatic sphincter. In patients with a hiatal hernia these constituents are separated. We performed high-resolution manometry of the esophagogastric HPZ in six controls, six patients with a small hernia, and six patients with a large hernia. Prevalence of a double-peak pressure profile of the HPZ was noted. Pressures and distances between the peaks were assessed. Prevalence of the double-peak profile was similar between patients with a small hernia and controls, but patients with a large hernia showed a higher prevalence with inspiration (P < 0.05) than the others. The distance between the two peaks was larger in patients with a large hernia (P < 0.05). In conclusion, high-resolution manometry makes it possible to distinguish the diaphragmatic pressure component from the LES. Two pressure peaks can be found both in hernia patients and in healthy volunteers.
