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

Endoscopic antireflux therapy is a novel endoscopic treatment for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease. We developed antireflux myoplasty (AR-MP), a modified version of antireflux mucoplasty (ARM-P), in which exposed bilateral sling fibers are sutured directly via endoscopic hand-suturing. AR-MP was performed on a 60-year-old man, resulting in symptomatic improvement and allowing discontinuation of acid-suppressive medication 3 months after the procedure. One month postoperatively, endoscopy showed an improvement in the Hill classification from grade 3 to grade 1. Before AR-MP, endoscopic pressure study integrated system findings showed a maximum intragastric pressure value of 13.7 mmHg, indicating a flat pattern. After AR-MP, maximum intragastric pressure exceeded 20 mmHg, and the pattern shifted to uphill. AR-MP is an innovative endoscopic technique that reconstructs the native antireflux mechanism by suturing the sling fibers and reforming the gastroesophageal flap valve. This innovative endoscopic procedure, like ARM-P, provides immediate symptom relief and represents a breakthrough in the endoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
