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

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is prevalent and has a complex pathophysiology. Though medications are first line, a significant proportion of patients are refractory to this treatment and require anti-reflux surgery (ARS). Though surgery has proven safe and effective, most patients and referring providers are reluctant. Anti-Reflux Mucosectomy (ARMS) provides a less invasive alternative treatment option. This review aims to report our experience with ARMS, discuss other technical variations used, and future directions. Recent Findings In our experience, we note improvement in dysphagia with the modified butterfly-shaped mucosal resection, leading to shorter length of stay, quicker recovery, and equivalent QOL outcomes compared to ARS. We note similar efficacy and safety profiles for anti-reflux mucosal ablation, anti-reflux mucosectomy with cap-assisted mucosal resection, peroral endoscopic cardial constriction, and resection and plication. ARMS and its variations show safety and efficacy as alternative non-invasive treatment options for appropriately selected patients with refractory GERD.
