Gastroparesis and Functional Dyspepsia: Spectrum of Gastroduodenal Neuromuscular Disorders or Unique Entities?
Article in Gastro hep advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Gastroparesis is defined by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction of the stomach. Patients experience symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fullness, and early satiety. The recognition of the disorder has progressed due to availability of gastric emptying scintigraphy and advancements made in understanding its pathophysiology and treatment options. The clinical presentation and treatment of gastroparesis overlap with a more commonly recognized disorder of gut-brain interaction, functional dyspepsia. Recent studies have reenergized the discussion whether these two are separate entities or perhaps reflect a spectrum of gastroduodenal neuromuscular disorders. The societal guidelines conflict on the utility of gastric emptying scintigraphy in assessment of patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms. A better appraisal of similarities and differences between gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia will allow targeted treatment for these disorders. This is particularly important as specific pharmacological and endoscopic treatment options are being developed for gastroparesis which are unlikely to be helpful for functional dyspepsia. This review makes the case for considering these disorders in a spectrum where identification of both would most ideally position us toward providing the optimal clinical care.
