1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: : Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) is the reference standard test for diagnosing gastroparesis. Body surface gastric mapping (BSGM) via Gastric Alimetry is a new test of gastric function that combines non-invasive assessment of gastric electrophysiology and validated symptom profiling. This randomized, prospective pilot study evaluated the impact of GES vs BSGM test results on clinical decision-making. Methods: : Patients with chronic gastroduodenal symptoms from a tertiary center referred for GES were recruited. Subjects separately underwent baseline assessment with GES and BSGM testing. Two motility-specialists were first asked to devise a management plan after reviewing a test result (GES or BSGM, in random order). They were then asked to repeat the management plan after reviewing the other test result (BSGM or GES). Clinician-perceived certainty measures were assessed. Results: : Sixteen patients, 13 (81.0%) female, median age 30 years, median body mass index 22.5 kg/m Conclusion: : The combined GES and BSGM test results significantly enhanced diagnostic and management confidence in patients with suspected gastroparesis within a tertiary center.
