Functional Luminal Imaging Probe Panometry Identifies Achalasia-Type Esophagogastric Junction Outflow Obstruction.
Article in Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 2 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
BACKGROUND &
aimsThe etiologies of esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) vary, as do their therapeutic implications. We aimed to identify patients with EGJOO most likely to benefit from achalasia-type treatment, based on findings from functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) panometry.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of 34 patients who received a diagnosis of EGJOO from January 2015 through July 2017. Our analysis included patients who had been evaluated with timed barium esophagram, FLIP, or upper endoscopy.
resultsAmong the 34 patients with idiopathic EGJOO, 7 (21%) had a normal esophagogastric junction distensibility index (EGJ-DI), based on FLIP panometry, and all had repetitive antegrade contractions. None of the patients had radiographic evidence of EGJOO (RAD-EGJOO), defined as liquid barium retention and/or barium tablet impaction. On the other hand, all 18 patients with RAD-EGJOO had an EGJ-DI less than 2 mm
conclusionsWe found that FLIP is useful in identifying patients with EGJOO who are most likely to benefit from achalasia-type therapy. Patients with a low EGJ-DI responded well to achalasia-type treatment, whereas patients with normal results from FLIP panometry had good outcomes from conservative management. FLIP panometry might help select management strategies for this difficult population of patients.
