"Black Esophagus" and Gastric Volvulus Following Slipped Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
To review the entity "black esophagus" and sequela of a slipped laparoscopic adjustable band. The patient's history, physical examination, imaging, and endoscopic findings were reviewed. Detailed review of pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, management, and natural history was conducted. "Black esophagus," also known as acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), is a rare condition resulting in black discoloration of the mid to distal esophagus with less than a hundred reported cases. It has not been previously documented in bariatric surgery or following laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. The volvulus was reduced at surgery, and the esophageal changes resolved without sequela. "Black esophagus" is an acute, ominous-appearing condition with a spectrum ranging from superficial mucosal disease to transmural involvement with perforation. Fortunately, esophageal resection is rarely required.
