Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy-Induced Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Review of the Efficacy of Proton Pump Inhibitors as a Management Strategy: Review of the Literature.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive procedure that is very effective in the treatment of achalasia, a rare esophageal motility disorder. POEM has become the first-line treatment for achalasia, with high success rates reported in the literature. However, a known complication of POEM is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The exact cause and risk factors of post-POEM GERD are not fully understood; however, a number of factors have played a role in its development. The management of post-POEM GERD is mainly by conservative measures, such as lifestyle changes and medications, like proton pump inhibitors (PPI), which are often the first-line method of treatment. However, surgical procedures, such as fundoplication, may be necessary in some patients. This literature review will discuss the effectiveness of the use of PPIs as a management strategy for post-POEM GERD, the factors that lead to PPI-resistant GERD, and other management strategies utilized in these cases.
