Review of recent evidence on the management of heartburn in pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Review in BMC gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one the most common medical complaints in pregnant women. Some women continue to experience GERD symptoms after delivery. Effective management of GERD symptoms is important to improve productivity and quality of life. Management of heartburn in pregnant and breastfeeding women involves lifestyle modifications, dietary modifications, non-pharmaceutical remedies and pharmaceutical drugs. For most patients, lifestyle/dietary modifications are helpful in reducing GERD symptoms. For patients who require a more intense intervention, various types of pharmaceutical drugs are available. However, the suitability of each treatment for use during pregnancy and lactation must be taken into consideration. This article explores the reported efficacy and safety of these treatment options in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Recommended treatment algorithm in pregnant and breastfeeding women have been developed.
