Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy for the Management of Achalasia in a Patient with Prior Lap Band, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

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
introductionAchalasia after bariatric surgery is a rare pathological entity. Nonetheless, several cases have been described in literature. Per oral endoscopic myotomy has recently emerged as the preferred approach for the management of esophageal motility disorders. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe report a video case of POEM performed in a female patient with prior multiple bariatric surgical procedures. In her past medical history, she underwent to laparoscopic lap band, sleeve gastrectomy, and Roux-Y-gastric bypass.
resultsPOEM was carried out without complication. Myotomy was performed only for 1 cm below the cardias due to the presence of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis. Post-operative course was uneventful and oral diet was restarted after one day. At 2 months follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic with no weight regain.
conclusionWe report the first case of POEM after three different bariatric surgical procedure. Fibrosis due to prior interventions did not hampered POEM procedure, and the shorter myotomy due to the presence of small gastric pouch did not reduced its efficacy.
