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

Epiphrenic diverticulum is frequently associated with esophageal motility disorder, including esophageal achalasia. Heller's myotomy should accompany diverticulectomy to reduce the bulging pressure in surgery for epiphrenic diverticulum with esophageal achalasia. In such cases, designing myotomy is sometimes difficult, depending on the size and location of the diverticulum. Ventrally located diverticula require special caution to spare some muscular tissue between the longitudinal staple line of the diverticulectomy and myotomy, which is a crucial step to prevent staple-line dehiscence. In this article, we describe a case with ventrally located epiphrenic diverticulum who underwent successful laparoscopic resection and myotomy for esophageal achalasia with an informative surgical video.
