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

objectivesGastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disease in gastroenterology outpatients. However, some patients with typical reflux symptoms does not satisfy diagnostic criteria. This study was to explore the value of adjunctive evidence from multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring and esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) in inconclusive GERD patients with acid exposure time (AET) 4-6%.

methodsEndoscopy, MII-pH monitoring and esophageal HRM were retrospectively analyzed from consecutive patients with typical reflux symptoms in a tertiary hospital from 2013 to 2019. Patients were categorized as conclusive or inconclusive GERD according to AET. Adjunctive evidence for GERD diagnosis from Lyon Consensus were collected and analyzed.

resultsAmong 147 patients with typical reflux symptoms, conclusive GERD was found in only 31.97% of patients (

conclusionsInconclusive GERD patients with AET 4-6% have similar acid burden and esophagus motility dysfunction to GERD patients. MNBI and PSPWI are pivotal adjunctive evidence for diagnosing GERD when AET is borderline.
