Robotic Heller-Dor for Idiopathic Achalasia: the Pisa experience.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Achalasia is a rare motility disorder of the esophagus. According to the Chicago Classification criteria, there are three clinical types of Achalasia and the treatment is patient-tailored. Laparoscopic Heller-Dor is the gold-standard treatment for the most frequent types of Achalasia. However, robotic surgery is able to combine the clinical advantages of minimally invasive surgery with a powerful dexterity on complex anatomic structures. The aim of this study is to report the institutional experience developed in a referral center of esophageal surgery in the treatment of Achalasia by Robotic Heller-Dor. We retrospectively analyzed data of patients that consecutively underwent Robotic Heller-Dor at our institution between January 2012 and January 2020 using the Da Vinci
