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

Acute pandysautonomia-associated distal esophageal spasm is a rare disease with an unclear etiology. Here, we describe a 12-year-old boy with an acute pandysautonomia-associated distal esophageal spasm who was treated using a peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). The patient's clinical features included recurrent dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, growth retardation, and signs of autonomic nerve dysfunction (e.g., a decreased production of tears and sweat, and an increased production of saliva). Signs of the distal esophageal spasm were visible in upper gastrointestinal radiography, endoscopy, and high-resolution esophageal manometry. After the POEM, the patient exhibited improvements in nausea and vomiting, and his dysphagia symptoms were relieved by the 6-month follow-up visit. However, the patient's neurological problems persisted. The satisfactory short-term clinical responses in our patient suggest that POEM is feasible, safe, and effective for the treatment of acute pandysautonomia-associated distal esophageal spasms in children.
