Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction-related functional chest pain treated using robotic-assisted thoracoscopic esophageal myotomy.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Elevated relaxation pressure in combination with intact or weak peristalsis characterizes esophagogastric junction (EGJ) outflow obstruction. Symptoms of EGJ outflow obstruction include dysphagia and atypical chest pain. EGJ outflow obstruction can be diagnosed using high-resolution manometry (HRM), but there is a lack of consensus regarding treatment. We present a case report of a 43-year-old man with a history of headache and mitral valve disorder who suffered from intermittent atypical chest pain for 20 years. A diagnosis of EGJ outflow obstruction was made using esophageal HRM. Due to medication intolerance, robotic-assisted esophageal myotomy and Belsey-Mark IV fundoplication were performed. The symptoms went into complete remission and no motility disorders were detected on postoperative HRM. HRM is a useful diagnostic examination for EGJ outflow obstruction. The robotic systems-assisted long segment myotomy may potentially play an important role in the treatment of EGJ outflow obstruction-related functional chest pain.
