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

Background: Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a manometric diagnosis based on Chicago Classification version 4.0 (CC4.0) that requires confirmatory testing for clinical relevancy. However, it is still unclear which patients will respond to therapy. Objectives: To evaluate manometric and clinical predictors of abnormal confirmatory testing for patients with EGJOO. Design: This was a prospective observational study of patients with manometric EGJOO and chest pain or dysphagia who underwent confirmatory testing. Methods: Patients with EGJOO on manometry were enrolled and underwent timed barium esophagram or endoFLIP. A subset of patients was given validated surveys, including Eckardt scores (ES) and PROMIS-10. Results: For patients with a CC4.0 EGJOO diagnosis, abnormal peristalsis (OR = 7.0, 95% CI = 1.01-44.6, Conclusion: Patients with potentially actionable EGJOO were more likely to have an abnormal peristaltic subtype of EGJOO or higher ES.
