Twenty-four-hour pH monitoring of gastric conduit in post-esophagectomy patients: correlation with clinical and endoscopic parameters in a prospective cohort study from India.
Article in Journal of minimally invasive surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: Esophagectomy for malignancy leads to decreased gastric conduit acidity due to bilateral vagotomy and fundic gland area reduction. However, reflux symptoms occur. The changes in pH of gastric conduit and esophageal remnant post-esophagectomy were studied and correlated clinically, endoscopically and with Methods: We studied 20 patients prospectively undergoing esophagectomy for malignancy from January 2022 to December 2023. The patients underwent pre- and postoperative clinical assessment, 24-hour pH monitoring, and esophagoduodenoscopy with Results: Postoperatively, the total percent (%) time pH <4 was nonsignificantly increased to 17.95% ( Conclusion: There is a significant increase in gastric conduit pH post-esophagectomy with increased exposure to the esophageal remnant mucosa proportional to gastric acidity.
