Barrett esophagus in Asia: same disease with different pattern.
Review in Clinical endoscopy, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Barrett esophagus (BE) is considered to develop as a result of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and to predispose to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). However, the disease pattern of BE in Asia differs from that observed in the West. For example, in the West, the prevalence rates of BE and EAC have progressively increased, whereas although the prevalence rate of GERD is increasing in Asia, the prevalence rates of BE and EAC have remained low in most Asian countries. GERD, hiatal hernia, old age, male sex, abdominal obesity (visceral obesity), smoking, alcohol consumption, and kyphosis are known risk factors for BE in Asia, and most Asian patients have short-segment BE. Helicobacter pylori infection is more prevalent in Asia than in the West. We suggest larger studies with a prospective design be conducted to elaborate further the different patterns of BE in Asia.
