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

The concomitant presence of esophageal achalasia and esophagogastric junction submucosal leiomyoma is extremely rare. Peroral endoscopic myotomy has been endorsed as one of the primary interventions to manage esophageal achalasia. We present a 49-year-old woman who had initial endoscopic evaluation and diagnosis of achalasia type II then underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy and found to have incidental submucosal leiomyoma at 1 cm distal to esophagogastric junction. It was removed successfully by submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection. This poses the question of whether this is a case of achalasia or pseudoachalasia caused by leiomyoma.
