The treatment of Barrett's esophagus.
Review in Journal of medicine and life. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The reflux of the gastric juice in the esophagus can determine the injury of the esophageal epithelium. When the healing of the lesion is done by replacing the normal squamous epithelium with columnar epithelium, the entity is called Barrett's esophagus (BE). Although controversial, some studies showed 0,5% per year the incidence of the esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with BE, 30 times more often than general population. Taking into consideration the possible development of an adenocarcinoma, the patients with Barrett's esophagus require endoscopic surveillance after a standardized protocol. There is still much controversy about the treatment of patients with Barrett's esophagus, especially in the presence of dysplasia. The aims of the treatment are gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms control, healing of associated esophagitis and prevention of development of adenocarcinoma.
