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

Chronic laryngeal symptoms are often attributed to gastroesophageal reflux disease based on nonspecific testing by laryngoscopy resulting in overdiagnosis of this condition. Identifying optimal means by which we can diagnose reflux in patients with chronic laryngeal symptoms is an unmet clinical area. One such technique might be measurement of oropharyngeal acid exposure employing a novel pH monitoring device. We outline the strengths and limitations of this new technology relative to the observational cohort study by Yadlapti et al. published in this issue of the Journal.
