Functional Dyspepsia in the Elderly.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 reviewFunctional dyspepsia is a common condition, and the condition is defined by symptoms using Rome IV criteria. This review addresses the issue of functional dyspepsia in elderly patients, epidemiology, investigation, and treatment. RECENT
findingsRecent studies show that while the prevalence of dyspepsia declines in the elderly, it is still prevalant investigations to confirm the diagnosis (including mandatory upper gastrointestinal endoscopy) must exclude organic disease. These include ulcers (particularly associated with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs), Helicobacter pylori pathologies, cancer, coeliac disease, and autoimmune gastritis. Recent research is unraveling pathophysiology beyond symptom-only definitions, focusing on the duodenum with innate immune disturbance (duodenal eosinophilia) and microbial disruption as possible cause. Management of functional dyspepsia includes making a secure diagnosis, treatment with first-line proton pump inhibitors (PPI), then tricyclic antidepressants, and careful choice of prokinetics. Herbal treatments (peppermint oil) and STW-5 have in this age group limited efficacy. Further studies are needed to define the prevalence of functional dyspepsia in the elderly and of prime importance, to exclude organic disease as a cause for symptoms of dyspepsia.
