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

backgroundPeroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) utilizes the principles of natural orifice transluminal surgery to create an operative tunnel within the submucosal space, perform an endoluminal esophagogastromyotomy, and ultimately mitigate the progressive symptoms of achalasia. POEM is an innovative minimally invasive technique increasing in popularity and clinical significance as an effective treatment for achalasia and other disorders of spastic esophageal motility.

methodsA comprehensive literature review was performed regarding the procedure, outcomes, and technical advancements in POEM.

resultsA growing number of studies world-wide have shown that POEM is a safe and effective for all types of achalasia, sigmoid and non-sigmoid type.

conclusionsPOEM continues to gain traction as a highly effective therapeutic modality for achalasia. As natural orifice transluminal surgery advances, further research is necessary to optimize utilization of endoluminal functional imaging, to tailor endoscopic technique, and to address the adverse effect of post-operative reflux and esophagitis.
