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/Aims: Pediatric patients with suspected gastroparesis often undergo antroduodenal manometry (ADM) and gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) for diagnostic purposes. However, it is unknown if delayed gastric emptying (DGE) correlates with manometric findings. This study evaluates whether ADM parameters differ between normal and abnormal GES in pediatric patients. Methods: Data from pediatric patients undergoing ADM and GES at Nationwide Children's Hospital from 2011-2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Manometry parameters including motility index (Ln [sum of amplitudes × number of contractions + 1]), number of antral contractions, and direction of the phase III migrating motor complex (MMC) were compared to GES results from age-matched patients with DGE (n = 32) and normal gastric emptying (NGE) (n = 32) of similar sex, body mass index, and weight. Results: Children with DGE had a lower post-prandial antral motility index and antral contraction number than those with NGE (9.4 vs 11.2, Conclusions: ADM findings differ between children with DGE and NGE. Children with DGE are more likely to have abnormal fasting phase III patterns and decreased post-prandial antral activity during ADM testing.
