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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between essential hypertension and the incidence of erosive esophagitis (EE) using data from a single-center hospital cohort. Methods: A total of 4844 patients who underwent gastroscopy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University between June 2019 and December 2023 were included in this analysis. Participants were categorized into two groups: those with erosive esophagitis (EE) and those without, the latter comprising individuals who presented with neither reflux-related symptoms nor positive endoscopic findings. Logistic regression hazard models were used to assess the association between hypertension and EE. Correlation analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between the severity of esophagitis and degree of hypertension. Results: Among the participants, 2359 (52.41%) were classified in the EE group, while 2305 (47.59%) were in the non-EE group. Among the individuals with EE, 821 (32.3%) had a history of hypertension, compared to 640 (27.8%) in the non-EE group. This difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Essential hypertension was identified as an independent risk factor for erosive esophagitis, which suggests that individuals with essential hypertension may warrant closer monitoring for erosive esophagitis in clinical settings.
