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

Allgrove syndrome, also known as Triple A syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by three signs: esophageal achalasia, adrenocorticotropic hormone refractoriness, and alacrima. A 31-year-old male presented to our hospital for treatment of difficulty swallowing caused by esophageal achalasia. Because he had complicating alacrima, a neurologic disease, and a family history of consanguineous marriage, a genetic neurologic disease was suspected. Then, a mutation in the achalasia-addisonianism-alacrima syndrome gene was identified. With the diagnosis of Allgrove syndrome, a per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was performed for esophageal achalasia. After the POEM, the symptoms and the esophageal pressure findings ameliorated quickly, with no recurrence noted throughout a follow-up of more than 1 year. Here, we report the first case of POEM performed for esophageal achalasia in Allgrove syndrome.
