Extensive preoperative workup in diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis associated with Alport syndrome influences surgical treatment: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionDiffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is a rare disease. Misdiagnosis is frequent and previous surgeries can complicate surgical management. The only treatment described for severe symptomatic cases is esophagectomy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We describe a case of diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis associated with Alport syndrome in a 21 year-old female where endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with concomitant fluoroscopy and 3D-gastric computed tomography (3D-GCT) modified surgical management. DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is difficult but can be greatly facilitated by extensive endoscopic and radiologic workup. Esophagectomy should only be entertained after complete anatomic mapping of the lesions, especially after previous surgeries.
conclusionEUS and 3D-GCT should strongly be considered as part of routine preoperative workup in these patients.
