Randomized Controlled Trial of Anti-reflux Mucosectomy Versus Radiofrequency Energy Delivery for Proton Pump Inhibitor-refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
Article in Journal of neurogastroenterology and motility, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background/Aims: The efficacy and safety of anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) or radiofrequency energy delivery in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have been reported, but the difference between the 2 remains unclear. Methods: This was a single center, randomized, comparative clinical study. Patients with symptoms of heartburn and/or regurgitation despite proton pump inhibitor treatment were randomly assigned to either ARMS group (n = 20) or radiofrequency group (n = 20). Primary outcome was the standardized GERD questionnaire (GERDQ) at 2 years after the procedures. Secondary outcomes were the proportions of patients with complete proton pump inhibitor (PPI) cessation and patients satisfied with the treatment. Results: A total of 18 patients randomized to ARMS and 16 to radiofrequency were analyzed in this study. The operation success rate of the 2 groups was 100%. In both ARMS and radiofrequency groups, GERDQ scores at 2 years after the procedures were significantly lower than that before operation ( Conclusions: The clinical efficacy of ARMS and radiofrequency for the PPI-refractory GERD is equivalent. ARMS, the efficacy of which could be maintained for at least 2 years, is promising endoscopic management for the treatment of refractory GERD.
