A study of dysphagia symptoms and esophageal body function in children undergoing anti-reflux surgery.
Article in United European gastroenterology journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03904004 (Impact of Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy and Other Treatments for Oesophageal Motility Disorders on Bolus Transport and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux. The pFlow Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe role of high-resolution esophageal impedance manometry (HRIM) for establishing risk for dysphagia after anti-reflux surgery is unclear. We conducted a prospective study of children with primary gastroesophageal reflux (GER) disease, for whom symptoms of dysphagia were determined pre-operatively and then post-operatively and we examined for features that may predict post-operative dysphagia.
methodsThirteen children (aged 6.8-15.5 years) undergoing work-up prior to 360
resultsPre-operative pressure-flow index was positively correlated with post-operative dysphagia score (viscous bolus
conclusionsIn order to mitigate symptoms in relation to anti-reflux surgery, dysphagia symptoms and esophageal function need to be pre-operatively assessed. In patients with normal motility, an elevated pressure-flow index may predict post-operative dysphagia.
