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

Classic gastroenterological diagnostic tools are proving increasingly insufficient for analyzing the complex causal relationship between extra-esophageal symptoms and presumed pathological reflux activity. Some new methodological approaches, such as functional endoscopy (videopanendoscopy, VPE), are considered to be helpful. However, there are currently no data objectively verifying the usefulness of this method. In a pilot study, a good correlation between the reflux symptom index (RSI) and endoscopic findings was shown. Impedance-pH measurement is considered to be the "gold standard" in esophageal reflux disease diagnostics. Therefore, the relationship between endoscopic findings and the results of impedance-pH monitoring are now studied in patients with extra-esophageal reflux symptoms. The investigation demonstrates that the pathological findings of VPE correlate well with impedance-pH measurements in terms of the parameters "number of reflux episodes", "fraction time", and "DeMeester score".
