Multiple Rapid Swallows (MRS) Complements Single-Swallow (SS) Analysis for High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry (HREM).
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMultiple rapid swallows (MRS) during HREM assess post-deglutitive inhibition, LES relaxation, and subsequent esophageal contraction.
aims(1) To determine the relationship between MRS and single-swallow (SS) responses and (2) to determine if MRS provides information for symptomatic patients.
methodsHealthy volunteers (HVs) and patients underwent HREM [30-s landmark, ten 5-mL SS, MRS (5 consecutive 2-mL swallows every 2-3 s)] and were analyzed with ManoView software version 3 with CC version 3.0.
resultsIn 20 HVs, MRS response consisted of: (1) reduction in GEJ pressure; (2) absence of esophageal contractile activity during MRS; and (3) post-MRS peristaltic contraction greater than SS contractions. In 20 HVs and 403 patients, MRS IRP correlated with SS IRP (r = 0.65; p < 0.0001) and post-MRS contraction DCI correlated with SS DCI (r = 0.76; p < 0.0001). Abnormally elevated MRS IRP was seen in 68% type 2 achalasia, 50% type 3 achalasia, 47% EGJOO, and 9% jackhammer. Increased MRS DCI was seen in 53% type 2 achalasia, 92% type 3 achalasia, 10% EGJOO, 22% jackhammer, and 18% DES. Increased DCI post-MRS was seen in 38% patients with jackhammer, 8% type 3 achalasia, 12% EGJOO, and 9% DES. 14 out of 143 (10%) patients with normal or indeterminate results on SS analysis had at least one abnormality on MRS.
conclusionsMRS IRP correlated with SS IRP, and post-MRS DCI correlated with SS DCI. Patients with defined CC disorders have abnormalities on MRS. There were MRS abnormalities in some patients with normal SS studies, most notably suggesting impaired LES relaxation and/or spastic esophageal motility. MRS may complement the baseline SS study analysis.
