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

Gastric Per-oral Endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) or per-oral pyloromyotomy (POP) is a novel procedure recently described for treatment of medically refractory gastroparesis; however, its efficacy and safety is not clear in patients with postsurgical gastroparesis (PsGP). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and safety of G-POEM in PsGP. A total of 6 studies were included in the analysis. The pooled rate of success by gastroparesis cardinal symptom index (GCSI) and 4-h gastric emptying study (GES) were 89.6% (95% C.I. 72.7-96.5) and 81.5% (95% CI 47.8-95.5) respectively. There was a statistically significant improvement in GCSI score after 3 months of G-POEM as compared with pre G-POEM GCSI scores (2.7 (95% C.I. 0-5.5) vs 8.2 (95% C.I. 5.4-11) (p = 0.007). The mean pre G-POEM 4 h GES was 93.8% (95% C.I. 42.3-145.3) with improvement in post G-POEM GES to 44.5% (95% C.I. 0-95)(p = 0.2). The pooled rate of total adverse events was 9% (95% C.I. 2.7-25.9). Our study showed a good clinical success of G-POEM in PsGP patients along with significant improvement in 3-month GCSI scores. There was an improvement of GES after G-POEM, but it did not reach statistical significance. In conclusion, G-POEM is an effective and safe treatment option for PsGP.
