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

introductionForeign body impaction is a common emergency in the field of otolaryngology. The prevalence of a jujube pit as an esophageal foreign body has increased in the Jiaodong Peninsula. However, reports on this are scarce.

aimTo investigate the methods for diagnosing and treating esophageal foreign body impaction of a jujube pit and to determine the risk factors for complications. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of patients who were diagnosed with esophageal impaction of a jujube pit. Demographic, clinical, radiological, and endoscopic data were collected and analyzed.

resultsNeither plain radiography nor esophagogram provided enough information on the surrounding issues and complications. The rate of secondary radiological examination was 51.61% for the patients who did not undergo prior computed tomography. The success rate of rigid esophagoscopy was 95.45%; 18 of these patients (27.27%) had previously undergone flexible esophagoscopy without foreign body removal. Logistic regression showed that the time from ingestion to presentation and the jujube pit size were independent risk factors for complications.

conclusionsComputed tomography without contrast material is the preferred diagnostic method for adults with esophageal jujube pit impaction, and rigid esophagoscopy can be used for therapy even though the first flexible esophagoscopy failed. Large diameter of the jujube pit constituting the esophageal foreign body (≥ 25 mm) and long duration between pit ingestion and presentation (> 12 h) were associated with increased complications in the patients in this study.
