Neonatal Achalasia Cardia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 cardia is more common in adults between the ages of 30 and 60 years. It is relatively uncommon in children and very rare in infants. Only a few cases of infants with achalasia have been reported till now. It is a motility disorder of the esophagus due to a failure to relax the lower esophageal sphincter. The common clinical presentations in infants are regurgitation, vomiting, respiratory symptoms, and failure to thrive. This can be easily misdiagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Surgical management is the mainstay of treatment. Here, we present the case of a female newborn with symptoms suggestive of achalasia from day one of life and successfully treated with Heller's esophagocardiomyotomy and Nissen's fundoplication, following which the baby is asymptomatic and thriving well.
