Peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of esophageal diverticulum: an experience in China.

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
backgroundWith the development of minimally invasive endoscopic approaches for the esophagus in recent years, peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in the treatment of esophageal diverticulum has been described recently in some reports due to its successful outcomes. The aim of this study is to report our experience with the use of diverticular POEM (D-POEM) technique in the management of esophageal diverticulum.
methodsThis retrospective study included consecutive patients with symptomatic esophageal diverticulum who visited our endoscopy center between April 2014 and January 2019. D-POEM was performed based on the principles of submucosal endoscopy. A new symptomatic scoring system was introduced to evaluate the severity of diverticular symptoms.
resultsA total of 10 patients with esophageal diverticulum (Zenker's 2, mid-esophagus 5, and epiphrenic 3) were included. The overall technical success rate of D-POEM was 100%, with a mean procedure time of 38.9 ± 20.5 (range 16-70) min. No serious complications occurred. Clinical improvement was achieved in 90% (9/10) of patients. The symptomatic score was significantly decreased from 2.5 (IQR 2.00-3.25) to 1.0 (IQR 0-1.25) (P = 0.007) during a median follow-up period of 11.0 (IQR 10.25-17.25) months.
conclusionThese findings suggested complete septotomy by D-POEM. Our preliminary data and experience put forwarded D-POEM as a safe and effective technique for esophageal diverticulum.
