1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionAxial hiatal hernias are a common incidental finding in endoscopical examinations, but reflux symptoms do not necessarily correspond to the presence of hiatal hernias. Diagnosing a reflux disease is difficult due to a leak of existing distinct criteria, especially in order to evaluate a surgical indication. Also a preoperative measurement of the hernia is necessary to choose between surgical options. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We planned a semiblinded trial including a questionnaire and an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy afterwards. While the endoscopy is done, the hiatus oesophagi should be measured in inversion technique under maximum insufflation including length, width and herniated volume. A sample of 210 participants until December 2020 is determined to evaluate the primary endpoint: we look forward to evaluate the anatomical parameters of reflux and non-reflux participants. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by the local ethics committee on 12th February 2019, the data will bei published after closure of inclusion. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00016863).
