Modern Esophageal Function Testing and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in Morbidly Obese Patients.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe implementation of high-resolution manometry (HRM) and the Lyon Consensus statement facilitate evaluation of gastroesophageal reflux disease and motility disorders in morbidly obese patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate prevalence and phenotype of (borderline) GERD and esophageal motility disorders in this population.
methodsConsecutive morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m
resultsOut of 448 eligible individuals, 147 patients (females = 75, 51%) with a median age of 41.6 (33.4; 52.3) years and a BMI of 44 (40.9; 49.4) kg/m
conclusionsThe current gold standard of assessment revealed that the prevalence of esophageal motility disorders and (borderline) GERD is high in the morbidly obese population. Further longitudinal data are needed to delineate the natural course of novel motility disorders like JE in obesity and to identify risk factors for adverse outcomes following bariatric surgery.
