Corrosive Esophageal Strictures: From Dilatation to Replacement: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Dysphagia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Endoscopic dilatation is the recommended primary therapy for chronic corrosive esophageal strictures (ES), and surgery is reserved for failed dilatation. Through this study, we intend to analyze the efficacy and long-term outcomes of both endoscopic and surgical interventions in corrosive ES. A retrospective cohort analysis of patients with chronic corrosive ES, managed with endoscopic or surgical procedures at a tertiary teaching institute in North India from December 2009 to December 2016, was performed from a prospectively maintained database. The primary outcome measure was the absence of dysphagia following dilatation or surgery. During the study period, 64 patients with ES underwent surgical or endoscopic treatment. Associated gastric strictures and pharyngeal strictures were present in 39 (60%) and 22 patients (28.9%), respectively. The mean age was 28.8 years and mean BMI was 14.2 kg/m
