Risk Factors for Esophageal Stricture in Grade 2b and 3a Corrosive Esophageal Injuries.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and purposePublications document the risk of developing esophageal stricture as a sequential complication of esophageal injury grades 2b and 3a. Although there are studies describing the risk factors of post-corrosive stricture, there is limited literature on these factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the different factors with post-corrosive esophageal stricture and non-stricture groups in endoscopic grades 2b and 3a of corrosive esophageal injuries.
methodsData were retrospectively analyzed in the patients with esophageal injury grades 2b and 3a between January 2011 and December 2017.
resultsOne hundred ninety-six corrosive ingestion patients were admitted with 32 patients (15.8%) in grade 2b and 12 patients (6.1%) in grade 3a and stricture was developed in 19 patients (61.3%) with grade 2b and in 10 patients (83.3%) with grade 3a. The patients' height of the non-stricture group was greater than that of stricture groups (2b stricture group, 1.58 ± 0.08 m; 2b non-stricture group, 1.66 ± 0.07 m; p < 0.004; 3a stricture group, 1.52 ± 0.09 m; 3a non-stricture group, 1.71 ± 0.02 m; p < 0.001). Omeprazole was more commonly used in the non-stricture than stricture group (26.3% in the 2b stricture group, 69.2% in the 2b non-stricture group, p = 0.017; 50% in the 3a stricture group, 100% in the 3a non-stricture group, 1.71 ± 0.02 m, p = 0.015).
conclusionsThe height of patients may help to predict the risks and the prescription of omeprazole may help to minimize the risks of 2b and 3a post-corrosive esophageal stricture.
