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

In previous years, the role of gastroesophageal (GE) ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been disputed. Most authors believe that it is difficult to diagnose GERD without correlation studies between esophageal pathology and ultrasonographic signs. Indeed, there are many anatomic descriptions of the normal GE junction. The fact that GERD diagnosis was made by morphological studies was believed to be an incorrect deduction. We revisit the pathophysiologic data concerning the gastroesophageal junction and gastric function and review the data in the literature of the past 30 years.
