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

Multiple factors play a role in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Two landmark studies showing higher concordance of disease in monozygotic than dizygotic twin pairs suggested the role of host genetic factors in its pathogenesis. Recent studies have shown that genetic polymorphism in genes influencing host's inflammatory response, drug metabolism, cell cycle regulation, xenobiotic pathways, DNA repair, mutagenesis, esophageal sensory function and gene silencing are associated with risk of GERD and its sequelae-Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, more studies on larger sample size are needed before reaching a definite conclusion on the role of an individual gene.
