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

The inter-relationship between chronic respiratory disease and reflux disease in the airway reflux paradigm is extremely complex and remains poorly characterised. Reflux disease is reported to cause or contribute to the severity of a number of respiratory tract diseases including laryngeal disorders, sinusitis, chronic cough, asthma, COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and bronchiolitis obliterans post lung transplant. It is now appreciated that reflux disease is not simply caused by liquid acid reflux but rather by a variety of chemical refluxates originating from the stomach and duodenum due to a number of different mechanisms. Reflux disease can be challenging to diagnose, particularly proving its role in the causation of direct respiratory epithelial damage. Significant advances in oesophageal assessment and gastric biomarkers have emerged in recent years as our understanding increases. There are a number of treatments available for reflux disease, both medical and surgical, but there is a paucity of large randomised trials to evaluate their efficacy in the setting of chronic respiratory disease. Everyday clinical practice, however, informs us that treatment failure in reflux disease is common. This clinical review summarises associations between reflux disease in the setting of chronic respiratory diseases and examines available evidence regarding potential therapeutic strategies.
