Diagnostic value of combining ultrafast cine MRI and morphological measurements on gastroesophageal reflux disease.

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
purposeTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of combining ultrafast real-time cine MRI with morphological measurements on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
methodsIn the prospective study, 40 healthy volunteers and 30 GERD patients underwent real-time cine MRI using an undersampled low-angle gradient echo sequence (50 ms/frame) with deep-learning reconstruction, to monitor the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and observe the reflux of the contrast agent during the Valsalva maneuver. The width of the lower esophagus, the length of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the end-expiratory and post Valsalva maneuver His angle were measured.
resultsThere were no statistical differences between the two group either in lower esophageal width (14.06 ± 1.50 mm vs. 14.75 ± 1.57 mm, P > 0.05) or LES length (25.20 ± 1.46 mm vs. 24.39 ± 1.68 mm, P > 0.05). The end-expiratory His angle (84.45 ± 18.67°) and post Valsalva maneuver His angle (101.53 ± 19.22°), and the differences between them (17.08 ± 5.65°) in the GERD group were greater than those in the healthy volunteers (71.51 ± 18.01°, 86.09 ± 18.24°, 14.57 ± 3.88° respectively, P < 0.05). Reflux was induced in 8 cases of GERD group including 4 cases with hiatus hernia and not observed in healthy volunteers. The AUC for diagnosing GERD were 0.702, 0.737 and 0.634 for end-expiratory, post Valsalva maneuver His angle and their differences, when combined with real-time MRI was 0.823, with a sensitivity of 86.67% and a specificity of 67.50%.
conclusionReal-time MRI can display dynamic swallowing and reflux at the GEJ. The His angle can serve as a morphological indicator for diagnosing GERD with MRI.
