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
backgroundEsophageal rupture, spontaneous or iatrogenic, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The current study aims at highlighting the various clinical scenarios, where esophageal fully covered self-expanding removable metal stents (FCSEMS) can be used in esophageal rupture.
methodsIn patients who underwent insertion of FCSEMS between January 2013 and June 2014, all data regarding demographics, indications, insertion, removal, and outcomes were studied retrospectively.
resultsSeven patients underwent the placement of esophageal covered SEMS. Two patients had Boerhaave syndrome, two had leak following the repair of aortic aneurysm, one had extensive esophageal injury following transesophageal echocardiography, one had carcinoma esophagus with tracheaesophageal fistula, and one had dehiscence of esophagogastric anastomosis. Stent insertion was successful in all the patients; one had stent migration which was managed endoscopically. Two patients died due to underlying illness; the rest had successful removal of stents after 8-10 weeks and good outcomes.
conclusionEsophageal FCSEMS placement is safe and effective modality in management of patients with esophageal rupture.
