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

opinion statementAmong the many inflammatory processes that may account for esophageal symptoms, infection represents an important etiologic category with numerous clinically relevant subdivisions. While features of the history and physical exam are informative, diagnosis often hinges on endoscopic visualization and histopathologic analysis. This chapter will review in series the most clinically relevant causative agents for infectious esophagitis, with specific diagnostic and therapeutic features of note divided into one of two immune milieus. Our discussion focuses primarily on Candida species, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus as the most common causes of infectious esophagitis while also addressing a number of less common pathogens worth keeping in mind.
