Findings of impedance pH-monitoring in patients with atypical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
Article in Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimThis study was designed to investigate about findings of Impedance pH-monitoring in patients with atypical symptoms of GERD.
backgroundThe routine treatment with proton pump inhibitors is not very effective in patients with atypical symptoms of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). It may be due to non-acid reflux which cannot be monitored using common methods such as pH-metry. Therefore, in these patients combinational procedure of multi channel intraluminal impedance and pH monitoring has been suggested as a new approach. PATIENTS AND
methodsSixty patients with atypical symptoms of GERD underwent combined impedance pH-monitoring. pH of reflux episodes, type of material refluxant, blous cleaning time, proximal extension and symptoms association probability (SAP) was recorded for each patient.
resultsGlobus sensation was reported as the most common atypical symptom. 95% of patients experienced weakly acid reflux. Mixed and pure gas refluxates were more frequent than pure liquid reflux. Bolus clearing time was pathologic in 36.7% of cases and proximal extension was detected in 43 patients (71.7%). Of the 46 symptomatic patients, 33.3% had a positive SAP and 43.3% had a negative SAP.
conclusionThe findings of current study showed that the combinational procedure of MII and pH monitoring could provide important information for resistant to treatment patients' with atypical GERD symptoms.
