Immediate and long-term outcome of corrosive ingestion.

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
backgroundCorrosive ingestion (CI) has short- and long-term consequences. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of mucosal injury grade ≥ 2A.
methodsConsecutive patients between January 2008 and January 2015 who presented within 48 h of CI were included. Details of substance ingested, intent, symptoms, injury grade at endoscopy, and treatment were obtained by a review of medical records. Patients aged less than 15 years or injury grade less than 2A were excluded. Patients were followed up using a structured symptom-based questionnaire and barium swallow.
resultsA total of 112 patients were admitted with CI during the study period. Eighty-two patients were included in the study. There was no relationship between the presence of symptoms or oral mucosal injury and the grades of gastrointestinal mucosal injury. Grades 2B and 3A were the most common grades of mucosal injury. Five patients died at index hospitalization. Patients were followed up for a median period of 31 months (6-72) during which 11 patients were lost to follow up. During follow up, 2 patients with high-grade injury died as a consequence of CI and 4 died of unrelated causes. Sixteen (26.6%) patients remained symptomatic. Forty-three patients underwent barium swallow. Esophageal stricture was identified in 11 patients, gastric stricture in 8, and combined esophageal and gastric in 2. High-grade esophageal mucosal injury was associated with a high risk of stricture formation (p = 0.02).
conclusionsCI is associated with high immediate and long-term morbidity and mortality.
