The Multichannel Intraoesophageal Impedance Transit Concept.

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
Introduction/aims The multichannel intraoesophageal impedance transit (MIIT) is a new clinical concept that is being introduced to measure the oesophageal transit during a 24-hour multichannel impedance-pH (MII-pH) study. Methods MIIT was tested in a case-control study between January 2020 and December 2023. A laboratory test was first conducted to determine the saline baseline impedance (SBI) using MII-pH catheters. SBI was later used to reference the oesophageal transit of saline during the MIIT test. In the MIIT test, patients rapidly drank 200 ml of saline within 20 seconds. The saline transit was identified by the temporal impedance changes from the oesophageal mucosal baseline impedance (MBI) to the approximate SBI level. The duration of SBI was recorded from multiple impedance sensors in the proximal, mid and distal oesophagus which form the MIIT. The regional MIIT were correlated to the Hospital Odynophagia Dysphagia Questionnaire (HODQ) scores for clinical dysphagia and severity. Regional MIIT were also compared between achalasia patients (case group) and non-achalasia patients (control group) based on high-resolution manometry (HRM) and barium swallow (BS) diagnosis.
