[Esophageal motility disorders].
Review in Der Internist, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Esophageal motility disorders are a group of diseases that result in swallowing dysfunction due to changes in neuromuscular structures, which coordinate esophageal function. Besides achalasia, which is the best defined functional disturbance of the esophagus, there are other motility disorders, namely hypercontractile (diffuse esophageal spasm, nutcracker or jackhammer esophagus, hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter) and hypocontractile disorders, whose origins and disease mechanisms are not yet well understood. The main symptoms are dysphagia and thoracic pain. Diagnosis is usually made by means of esophageal manometry, while endoscopy and barium swallow are essential to exclude inflammatory or neoplastic changes. The introduction of high resolution manometry (HRM) with up to 36 pressure points that are simultaneously measured on the esophageal catheter has changed diagnosis and assessment, and has led—with the Chicago Classification—to a new functional classification of esophageal motility disorders. In the following review, the most important motility disorders of the esophagus are introduced.
