Gastroesophageal Reflux Characteristics in Supragastric Belching Patients With Positive Versus Negative pH Monitoring: An Evidence of Secondary Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease From Excessive Belching.
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 4 papers.
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: A high prevalence of GERD has been reported in patients with supragastric belching. We aim to evaluate reflux characteristics and explore the temporal relationship between supragastric belches (SGBs) and reflux episodes in GERD patients with excessive belching. Methods: Twenty-four hour esophageal pH-impedance monitoring was analyzed. Reflux episodes were classified into: refluxes preceded by SGBs, followed by SGBs, and lone refluxes. Reflux characteristics were compared between patients with pH-positive (pH+) and pH-negative(pH-). Results: Forty-six patients (34 Female, age 47 ± 13 years) were included. Fifteen patients (32.6%) had pH+. Almost half (48.1 ± 21.0%) of refluxes were preceded by SGBs. The number of SGBs significantly correlated with the number of reflux episodes preceded by SGBs ( Conclusions: In patients with GERD and SGB, the number of SGBs positively correlates with the number of reflux episodes preceded by SGBs. Identifying and managing SGB may be beneficial and more likely to improve GERD.
