Patient reported outcomes in gastroesophageal reflux disease: an overview of available measures.
Review in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common, chronic disorder. The main symptom of GERD is heartburn, although a diverse range of symptoms can be associated with the disease including acid regurgitation and epigastric pain. GERD is also a risk factor for Barrett's oesophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. The impact of GERD symptoms on patients' lives can be profound and is unrelated to the presence or absence of esophagitis. The impact of GERD can be measured by assessing the patient perspective using Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs). There are two categories of questionnaires that can be used to measure the effect of GERD on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), namely generic and disease or treatment specific. The use of PRO instruments has become more accepted in the assessment of disease treatment. Well-designed instruments that assess physical, psychological and emotional factors can provide clinicians with the data that will promote effective management decisions for the treatment of GERD. The most frequently used instruments in GERD are reviewed here, in terms of their psychometric properties.
