Impaired sliding between the lower esophageal sphincter and crural diaphragm (esophageal hiatus) in patients with achalasia esophagus.
Article in American journal of physiology. Gastrointestinal and liver physiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Swallow-related axial shortening of the esophagus results in the formation of phrenic ampulla in normal subjects; whether it is the case in achalasia esophagus is not known. The goal is to study axial shortening of the esophagus and relative movement between the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and crural diaphragm (CD) in normal subjects and patients with achalasia. A novel method, isoimpedance contour excursion at the lower edger of LES, as a marker of axial esophageal shortening was validated using X-ray fluoroscopy (
