Beyond visualizing the bird beak: esophagram, timed barium esophagram and manometry in achalasia and its 3 subtypes.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Achalasia is a rare esophageal motility disorder characterized by lack of primary peristalsis and a poorly relaxing lower esophageal sphincter. This disease process can be examined several ways and these evaluations can offer complementary information. There are three manometric subtypes of achalasia, with differing appearances on esophagram. Differentiating them is clinically important, because treatment for the subtypes varies. Timed barium esophagram (TBE) is a simple test to quantitatively evaluate esophageal emptying. TBE can be used to diagnose achalasia and assess treatment response. Considerable variation in the TBE protocol exist in the literature. We propose a standardized approach for TBE to allow for comparison across institutions.
