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
Background/Aims: : Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is the most frequently encountered esophageal manometric abnormality. Nonobstructive dysphagia is frequently associated with severe esophageal peristaltic dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate the presenting symptoms and association between dysphagia and specific manometric findings in patients with IEM. Methods: : We retrospectively reviewed 228 IEM patients diagnosed on high-resolution manometry at an academic institution (2010-2013). We collected data regarding the main presenting symptoms and manometric findings: bolus transit, distal esophageal pressure amplitude, and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) resting and relaxation pressure. Results: : Dysphagia was the main presenting symptom (25%) in IEM patients. Bolus transit was incomplete in either liquid or viscous swallows (30%) and incomplete in both liquid and viscous swallows (59%) in IEM patients. The LES resting pressure and LES relaxation pressure were elevated (9% and 36%, respectively) in IEM patients. There was no significant difference between dysphagia and either poorly relaxing LES ( Conclusions: : Dysphagia is a variable symptom associated with complex esophageal motility abnormalities. IEM patients with a combination of poorly relaxing LES and DBT are more likely to have dysphagia.
