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

We report the case of a 58-year-old woman presenting with dysphagia secondary to an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm arising from a heterotopic pancreas in the oesophageal wall. This was successfully treated with a laparoscopic/thoracoscopic ivor Lewis oesophagectomy. Dysphagia is the most common symptom of oesophageal tumours regardless of aetiology of the tumour and can be treated successfully with surgical resection. Through an extensive search of the literature, we found that a heterotopic pancreas in the oesophagus is extremely rare with only ten cases being reported. We describe what we believe to be the first case of a heterotopic pancreas in the oesophagus transforming into an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.
