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

opinion statementPURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a novel minimally invasive technique that has emerged as the preferred option for the treatment of achalasia and spastic esophageal disorders (SED) at many centers around the world. In this article, we review and summarize the recent literature on POEM in patients with achalasia and SED. The current article is largely focused on the new developments and findings, extended applications, and long-term outcomes of POEM in patients with achalasia and SED. RECENT

findingsPOEM is a safe and effective therapy for patients with achalasia and SED. POEM is comparable to Heller myotomy (HM) in terms of safety, efficacy, and complications, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Outcomes of POEM are excellent even in patients who had prior failed therapies for achalasia, including failed HM and prior POEM. Recent data also suggest the efficacy and safety of POEM in both pediatric and geriatric patients. GERD after POEM is common, and the majority of patients are asymptomatic. The management, goals of therapy, and long-term outcomes of GERD after POEM are unclear. Objective testing for all patients is recommended. POEM is a validated treatment for all patients with achalasia and SED. Candidates should be carefully selected and appropriately counseled on expected outcomes and the need for long-term surveillance.
