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

backgroundHigh-resolution manometry (HRM) is a new technique to investigate the motor function of the esophagus. It differs from conventional manometry in recording pressures by solid state microtransducers at 12 points around the circumference at every centimeter of esophageal length, and displaying the data in pseudo-three-dimensional format using a topographic plot, where esophageal pressures within a given range are represented by different colors. RATIONALE: The large amount of data and the capacity to analyze and display it intuitively has afforded many new insights into esophageal dysfunction. Among these insights are the ability to distinguish three different subtypes of achalasia and predict their response to therapy, better understanding of the relationship between the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the crural diaphragm, the development of novel quantitative parameters to understand the nature of the dysfunction in non-specific esophageal motor disorders, and the elucidation of a newly described motility disorder characterized by failure of peristalsis at the transitional zone between the upper skeletal muscle and the more distal smooth muscle portion of the esophagus. It is also ideally suited to analysis of the effect of prokinetic medications. The method is quicker and less uncomfortable for patients and the analysis is visually appealing and intuitively comprehensible.

conclusionDespite these potential advantages, there are currently no data to demonstrate a clinical advantage in treatment. The results of such studies will be crucial to the acceptance of this novel technology.
