Review in Diseases of the esophagus : official journal of the International Society for Diseases of the Esophagus, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04130659 (Open, Comparative Study To Evaluate The Performance And Safety Of The Medical Device Marial® In Association With Proton-Pump Inhibitors Versus PPI Alone In Patients Affected By Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Up to 40% of patients report persistent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms despite proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. This review outlines the evidence for medical therapy for PPI nonresponsive GERD. A literature search for GERD therapies from 2005 to 2015 in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews identified 2928 unique citations. Of those, 40 unique articles specific to the impact of PPI metabolizer genotype on PPI response and the use adjunctive medical therapies were identified. Thirteen articles reported impacts on CYP genotypes on PPI metabolism demonstrating lower endoscopic healing rates in extensive metabolizers; however, outcomes across genotypes were more uniform with more CYP independent PPIs rabeprazole and esomeprazole. Twenty-seven publications on 11 adjunctive medications showed mixed results for adjunctive therapies including nocturnal histamine-2 receptor antagonists, promotility agents, transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation inhibitors, and mucosal protective agents. Utilizing PPI metabolizer genotype or switching to a CYP2C19 independent PPI is a simple and conservative measure that may be useful in the setting of incomplete acid suppression. The use of adjunctive medications can be considered particularly when the physiologic mechanism for PPI nonresponse is suspected. Future studies using adjunctive medications with improved study design and patient enrollment are needed to better delineate medical management options before proceeding to antireflux interventions.
