Management of Recurrent Dysphagia after POEM and Heller Myotomy: Current Strategies and Future Directions.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 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
purpose of reviewDysphagia recurrence after myotomy for achalasia presents a complex clinical challenge. This review highlights causes of recurrent dysphagia, diagnostic strategies, and management options following laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) or per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). RECENT
findingsBoth POEM and LHM demonstrate durable efficacy, but recurrence arises from incomplete myotomy, blown-out myotomy (BOM), fundoplication-related obstruction, anatomic esophageal body abnormalities, esophageal dysmotility, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In the diagnostic evaluation, functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) and high-resolution manometry (HRM) provide complementary assessments of esophageal and esophagogastric junction dynamics, while timed barium esophagram (TBE) and endoscopy detect structural issues. Redo myotomy (POEM or LHM), pneumatic dilation (PD), and emerging techniques, such as per-oral plication of the esophagus (POPE), offer targeted therapy with favorable safety and symptom improvement. Recurrent dysphagia is multifactorial, requiring comprehensive esophageal evaluation. Advanced diagnostics and minimally invasive interventions expand therapeutic options, particularly in end-stage disease.
