Normative values for esophageal functional lumen imaging probe measurements: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurogastroenterology and motility, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundThe functional lumen imaging probe (Endoflip™) is increasingly used for evaluation of patients with esophageal symptoms. To improve the interpretation of Endoflip™ in clinical practice, normative values with appropriate cut-off values are required.
methodsOriginal clinical studies describing Endoflip™ use for measurements of esophageal motility in healthy adults were considered. Meta-analysis was performed based on published values.
resultsA total of 17 articles were included in the systematic review, 15 of which were included in the meta-analysis, representing 154 unique subjects. At 40 ml distention, the 5th-95th and 10th-90th percentiles for esophagogastric junction distensibility index (EGJ-DI) were 1.96-10.95 mm
conclusionsGiven these observations, we recommend using a cut-off of 2 mm
