Non-Cardiac Chest Pain.
Review in Visceral medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
backgroundNon-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is recurrent angina pectoris-like pain without evidence of coronary heart disease in conventional diagnostic evaluation. The prevalence of NCCP is up to 70% and may be detected (in this order) at all levels of the medical health care system (general practitioner, emergency department, chest pain unit, coronary care). Reduction of quality of life due to NCCP is comparable, and partially even higher, to that caused by cardiac chest pain. Reasons for psychological strain are symptom recurrence in approximately 50%, nonspecific diagnosis with resulting uncertainty, and insufficient integration of other medical disciplines in the diagnostic workup. METHODS AND
resultsThe management of patients with chest pain has to be multidisciplinary because non-cardiac causes may be frequently encountered. Especially gastroenterological expertise is required since the cause of chest pain is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in 50-60%, hypercontractile esophageal motility disorders with nutcracker/jackhammer esophagus or diffuse esophageal spasm or achalasia in 15-18%, and other esophageal alterations (e.g., infectious esophageal inflammation, drug-induced ulcers, rings, webs, eosinophilic esophagitis) in 32-35%.
conclusionThis review highlights the importance of regular interdisciplinary ward rounds and management of chest pain units.
