Esophageal Radiography Interpretation: a Primer for the Gastroenterologist.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purpose of reviewRadiological studies can be helpful when evaluating patients with suspect esophageal disorders. From benign strictures to malignancy and motility disorders such as achalasia, imaging modalities play a significant role in diagnosis. This review explores the role of different imaging modalities in the most frequently encountered esophageal pathologies. RECENT
findingsConventional barium esophagram has long been considered the primary imaging modality of the esophagus. In the same fashion, a timed barium esophagram is a valuable tool in the evaluation of achalasia and esophagogastric junction outlet obstruction. Over the last few decades there has been an increase in CT and MRI studies, which also play a role in the evaluation of esophageal pathologies. However, not infrequently, these newer imaging techniques can result in incidental esophageal findings. It is important that gastroenterologists appreciate the value of different modalities and recognize key imaging features. The diagnosis and management of esophageal disorders is evolving. A basic understanding of esophageal radiology is essential to any gastroenterologist caring for patients with esophageal complaints.
