Approach to gastroesophageal reflux disease in primary care: Putting the Montreal definition into practice.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectiveTo apply the recently published Montreal definition of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in primary care. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: The Montreal definition of GERD was developed by an international consensus group of experts in GERD and primary care physicians using rigorous evidence-based methods along with modern consensus development techniques and a patient-centred approach. MAIN MESSAGE: Gastroesophageal reflux disease can be diagnosed in primarycare based on symptoms alone without additional diagnostic testing. Symptoms reach a threshold where they constitute disease when they are troublesome (cause difficulty) to patients. In addition to the cardinal symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation, people with GERD can also have sleep disturbances, chest pains, or respiratory symptoms. Monitoring patients' response to proton pump inhibitor therapy can confirm the success of management. Treatment for symptoms of GERD can also heal underlying reflux esophagitis if it is present.
conclusionPrimary care physicians can diagnose and manage GERD confidently in most patients by investigating and treating troublesome symptoms without the need for additional investigations or referral to specialists.
