Effect of sex on the outcomes of peroral endoscopic myotomy for the treatment of achalasia.

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
backgroundPeroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has emerged as the first-line therapy for achalasia. However, large-scale studies which examine sex-related differences in symptoms and outcomes remain limited.
aimTo evaluate the impact of sex on achalasia symptoms, diagnostic findings, and postoperative improvement following POEM.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of achalasia patients who underwent POEM at a large center between 2010 and 2020, analyzing demographics and variables collected before, during, and after the procedure for both female and male cases.
resultsOur study included 526 cases in total, with the female group experiencing more severe chest pain (
conclusionSex may influence the severity and frequency of chest pain, with female cases exhibiting higher LESP and IRP compared to male cases. POEM is proven to be a safe and effective procedure for both sexes, with female cases potentially experiencing greater benefits.
