Gastroesophageal reflux disease in children and adolescents: when and how to treat.
Review in Paediatric drugs, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common presenting complaint in children and adults, and is a frequent reason for physician consultation. GER disease (GERD), whilst benign in the majority of cases, is frequently a chronic condition that has been shown to result in significantly reduced quality of life in children and adolescents. Furthermore, there is emerging evidence that the prevalence of GERD is rising and may have links to adult obesity and other morbidities. Consequently, accurate diagnosis, appropriate management strategies, and timely referral to specialist services are important principles in the effective management of GERD. Acid-suppressive drugs are effective therapies but are one of the most costly classes of drugs prescribed. Therefore, not only is an accurate diagnosis important to the patient, but it is also of significant interest from a public health and resource utilization standpoint.
