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

Nausea and vomiting are cardinal symptoms affecting many patients with delayed or normal gastric emptying. The current therapies are very limited and less than optimal. Therefore, gastrointestinal symptoms persist despite using all the standard approaches for gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, or unexplained nausea and vomiting. It is well established that gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in gastroparesis, but there are essentially no data available that detail the efficacy of GES in symptomatic patients without gastroparesis. We present a unique case of a female patient diagnosed with functional dyspepsia, whose nausea and vomiting which were refractory to all standard therapies were successfully addressed with the implantation of a GES system.
