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

Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is an esophageal motility disorder characterised by an elevated integrated relaxation pressure (IRP) with preserved peristalsis. Most functional EGJOO symptoms are self-limiting. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with non-resolution of symptoms for functional EGJOO. A retrospective single institution cohort study was performed on patients diagnosed with functional EGJOO on high-resolution manometry (HRM). Clinical, demographic, endoscopic and imaging parameters were recorded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with reduced likelihood of symptom resolution. Time to symptom resolution was then plotted on a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Over a 5-year period, 53 patients (41.5% male, 58.5% female) were diagnosed with functional EGJOO. The median age, body mass index and IRP at 4 s were 47.0 years (interquartile range (IQR): 36.0-58.0), 23.3 kg/m
