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

backgroundChest pain is a symptom commonly reported by persons in the general population and represents a differential diagnostic challenge. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe paper is based on a narrative review with a selective search of the literature in Medline for reviews and guidelines on the prevalence and treatment of non-malignant diseases with chronic chest pain in gastroenterology, gynecology and cardiology.

resultsThe prevalence and current treatment recommendations for the different forms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive and non-erosive types and irritable esophagus, non-cardiac chest pain, refractory angina in coronary heart disease and postmastectomy nand poststernotomy syndromes are presented. In cases of failure of the established therapy of a single medical discipline, an interdisciplinary assessment including psychosocial issues is recommended. Evidence-based guidelines are available for the management of GERD and of refractory angina. Treatment of postmastectomy and poststernotomy syndromes is based on case reports and expert opinion.

conclusionThere is a need for controlled studies on the symptomatic treatment of pain in irritable esophagus, non-cardiac chest pain, postmastectomy and poststernotomy syndromes.
