Transabdominal ultrasound elastography of the esophagogastric junction predicts reflux esophagitis.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeAbdominal ultrasound (US) can visualize the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) as a hyperechoic area in the dorsal portion of the lateral segment of the liver. We prospectively evaluated the EGJ using US elastography (US-EG) in patients with reflux esophagitis (RE) to examine prediction of distal esophageal function.
methodsOf 108 patients undergoing US-EG and esophagogastroduodenoscopy, 102 in whom the EGJ was observed for ≥ 15 s were included. The subjects were divided into a RE group (n = 41, Grade M/A/B:24/13/4 according to modified Los Angeles Classification) and a non-RE group (n = 61). Direct strain elastography (LOGIQ E9, GE Healthcare), which gives a semi-quantitative elasticity index within a region of interest including the lateral segment, was used as a standard for measurement of the change in stiffness (CS) at the EGJ.
resultsThe number of CS as determined by US-EG was 6.0 (5.5-6.7) in the RE group and 8.6 (6.6-10.0) in the non-RE group (P < 0.0001). In ROC analysis, the AUC was 0.8415 for diagnosis of RE using the number of CS. At a cut-off of 7.7, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for diagnosis were 92.7, 65.6, and 74.5%, respectively.
conclusionThe presence of RE can be predicted based on US-EG.
