The Utility of Esophageal Motility Testing in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 25 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purpose of reviewHere, we discuss how esophageal motor testing plays important roles in patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition to guiding appropriate placement of catheters for ambulatory reflux monitoring, esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) rules out confounding diagnoses, such as achalasia spectrum disorders, that can present with symptoms similar to that of GERD, but are managed very differently. RECENT
findingsHRM performed with impedance in the post-prandial setting (PP-HRIM) can assess for rumination syndrome or supragastric belching, which should be directed towards behavioral interventions. The recent GERD Classification of Motor Function recommends a hierarchical approach, focusing on (1) the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), (2) the esophageal body, and (3) esophageal contraction reserve, which can be assessed with provocative maneuvers at HRM, such as multiple rapid swallows (MRS). This approach can inform the appropriate tailoring of antireflux surgery. Novel esophageal motility metrics, such as the EGJ-contractile integral from HRM, or post-reflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave indices from 24-h pH-impedance monitoring, may also assist with GERD diagnosis. Assessment of esophageal motor function can contribute in a significant manner to the care of patients with suspected GERD, particularly when esophageal symptoms do not improve with antisecretory therapy, and/or when surgical or endoscopic antireflux therapies are under consideration.
