Prevalence and risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease in the Indian population: A meta-analysis and meta-regression study.
Synthesis in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundIndian population-based studies on the prevalence and risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are scanty, and a meta-analysis and a meta-regression of prevalence and risk factors based on the existing data have not yet been reported.
methodsA systematic review of all the available publications from India reporting data regarding prevalence and risk factors of GERD was performed. Heterogeneity was assessed using I
resultsThe nine studies included 20,614 subjects; the prevalence of GERD ranged from 5% to 28.5%. The summary effect size (weighted average proportion) estimated by meta-analytic model was 0.1415 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.099 to 0.197). The results for the test of heterogeneity that included tau
conclusionThe pooled prevalence of GERD in the Indian population is 15.6 (95% CI 11.046 to 20.714). The risk factors were age, body mass index (BMI), non-vegetarian diet, tea/coffee intake, tobacco, and alcohol consumption. However, there was significant heterogeneity in the studies.
