Barrett's esophagus in Japanese patients: its prevalence, form, and elongation.

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
backgroundBarrett's esophagus is a well-known acquired condition resulting from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, it is still unknown whether Barrett's esophagus develops gradually over time in patients with GERD. To address this issue, we investigated the change in the prevalence and length of short-segment Barrett's esophagus (SSBE) over time.
methodsFrom January 2005 to March 2007, we enrolled 5338 patients who received upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Prevalence and length of endoscopically identified SSBE were evaluated within groups divided on the basis of 10-year age intervals. The factors possibly influencing SSBE length such as symptoms, antacid use, and endoscopic findings were also evaluated. Additionally, the length change in 236 patients with histologically confirmed Barrett's esophagus was evaluated over a 2-year follow-up.
resultsOf the 5338 enrolled patients, 1997 had SSBE. The prevalence of endoscopically identified SSBE was significantly higher and its length was significantly longer in elderly patients. Multiple regression analysis showed that age, presence of reflux esophagitis, reflux symptoms, and hiatal hernia were positively correlated with SSBE length. Analysis of the 2-year follow-up study of histologically confirmed SSBE revealed significant extension of Barrett's length in 28.0% of 236 patients. Presence of reflux symptoms and hiatal hernia were identified as positive predictors and proton pump inhibitor administration as a negative predictor of SSBE elongation.
conclusionsPositive predictors for the extension of SSBE were presence of hiatal hernia and reflux symptoms, but not age.
