Peroral plication of the esophagus (POPE) for Achalasia - review of radiologic findings.
Review in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Achalasia, a primary esophageal motility disorder, can progress to an end-stage requiring interventions beyond standard therapies. The fluoroscopic findings of end-stage achalasia can be characterized by a dilated, redundant, sigmoidal esophagus with distal esophageal sump formation. Peroral Plication of the Esophagus (POPE) is a novel endoscopic procedure for patients with end-stage achalasia and prominent distal esophageal sump formation. Similar findings can also be seen in some patients after esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction. POPE is indicated when esophageal redundancy rather than lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction is the primary concern. While initial studies show POPE's technical feasibility, safety, and symptomatic improvement, to our knowledge there is no literature on the imaging findings and evaluation pre and post POPE. This pictorial essay aims to illustrate and describe the important components of a pre-POPE imaging evaluation, expected post-POPE anatomy, and short-term complications.
