A Tough Pill to Swallow: Demonstration of Esophageal Physiologic Events Explaining Severe Dysphagia Captured on EndoFLIP After LINX Procedure.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Dysphagia is a common symptom after magnetic sphincter augmentation, a minimally invasive antireflux alternative to laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. A 69-year-old woman underwent LINX procedure in 2017 for GERD symptoms, after which she had the onset of dysphagia. EndoFLIP demonstrated narrowing and stiffness at lower volumes but acceptable distensibility at the largest balloon volume. The treatment plan aimed to improve swallowing by ingesting larger solid boluses and avoiding additional invasive procedures. This visualization of the obstruction on EndoFLIP presented a more physiologic approach to treatment with ingesting larger, rather than smaller, solid food boluses.
