Quality of life assessment after peroral endoscopic myotomy.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03125733 (A Prospective International Multicenter Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Septum Division), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundPeroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a promising treatment option for motor disorders of the esophagus. The purpose of this study was to assess quality of life (QOL) postoperatively.
methodsAll patients who presented to our institution for surgical treatment of achalasia after 2011 were asked to complete QOL (SF-36), dysphagia, reflux severity index, and GERD questionnaires in clinic preoperatively and postoperatively at approximately 3 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year.
resultsThose patients who underwent a POEM procedure (n = 37) demonstrated a significant improvement in dysphagia scores, reflux severity scores, and GERD scores (p < 0.05) at each time point. SF-36 questionnaires specifically demonstrated a significant improvement in several concepts. At 3 weeks, emotional well-being scores were significantly higher (p = 0.006). At 6 months, the following concepts were significantly higher: emotional well-being (p = 0.039), social functioning (p = 0.038), and general health (p = 0.029). At 1 year, the following concepts were significantly higher: role limitations due to physical health (p = 0.001) and social functioning (p = 0.002).
conclusionThere is a significant improvement in several measures of QOL after POEM, which is comparable to that seen after laparoscopic Heller myotomy.
