Three-Dimensional High-Resolution Esophageal Manometry Study of the Esophagogastric Junction in Patients with Achalasia.

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
backgroundA novel three-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry provides a dynamic 360° representation of the pressure at the esophagogastric junction.
aimsTo describe the three-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry patterns of achalasia.
methodsWe retrospectively included all consecutive patients who underwent three-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry before and after treatment (pneumatic dilatation or per-oral endoscopic myotomy) for achalasia between November 2016 and July 2017. The distribution of the pressures at the esophagogastric junction on three-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry was determined.
resultsEighteen patients were included. Mean integrated relaxation pressure was 20.7 mmHg, and median (range) Eckardt score was 7 (4-10). Nine patients were treated by pneumatic dilatation and seven by myotomy. Nine patients underwent three-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry after treatment. Before treatment, the esophagogastric junction pressure distribution was best observed at end expiration and during the 4 s of the integrated relaxation pressure measurement. During the integrated relaxation pressure, the lower esophageal sphincter was asymmetric in 12 patients with a high-pressure zone between the left and the posterior side of the esophagogastric junction. After treatment, five patients had a residual high-pressure point on the left or the posterior side of the esophagogastric junction.
conclusionsThree-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry allows a simple assessment of the pressure topography at the EGJ. In patients with achalasia, we found the esophagogastric junction pressure to be asymmetric with a peak pressure on the greater curvature side. Three-dimensional high-resolution esophageal manometry has the potential to guide initial and redo treatments.
