Changes in peristalsis following per oral endoscopic myotomy in common esophageal motility disorders.

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
backgroundPer-oral endoscopic myotomy has been used for a diagnosis of achalasia and non-achalasia motility disorders. Little is known about the manometric function of the esophageal body and LES after POEM. This study focuses on examination of the changes before and after POEM in the treatment of all 3 achalasia types as well as esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction and jackhammer esophagus.
methodsA prospectively maintained IRB approved database was retrospectively reviewed to find patients who were diagnosed with any type of achalasia, esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction, and jackhammer esophagus, and underwent POEM. Patients were included if they had pre-operative and post-operative high-resolution manometry. Primary endpoints were to identify changes in peristalsis as well as other manometric findings.
resultsThere were 265 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Type 1 achalasia showed the most change in restoration of peristalsis after POEM at 45.5% of patients. Type 2 achalasia improved peristalsis, but not significant from 46.8 to 60.3%. Type 3 achalasia patients lost some peristalsis from 82.5% of patient having peristalsis to 64.5% of patients after POEM. The DCI in these patients returned to a normal range after the procedure. Similar findings were seen in jackhammer esophagus where the DCI returned to a normal range. Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction showed the biggest changes after POEM losing some peristalsis, but the DCI and wave amplitude significantly decreased (4993.2 to 902.5, 111 to 43.8, respectively).
conclusionPer-oral endoscopic myotomy is used for treatment of all types of achalasia and non-achalasia motility disorders. Peristalsis is regained in some patients with Type 1 and 2 achalasia, where some peristalsis is lost in Type 3 achalasia. Type 3 and jackhammer esophagus have normal DCI after the procedure, and esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction shows the poorest outcomes with some patients losing peristalsis, decrease in DCI and wave amplitude.
