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

A 19-year-old woman with suicidal thoughts consumed 24 anhydrous caffeine tablets and was admitted to our hospital. After being discharged from the hospital, her oral intake remained impaired because of retrosternal pain and she was readmitted. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed diffuse ulcers throughout the mid-to-lower esophagus; the patient was diagnosed with caffeine-induced esophagitis. She recovered soon after conservative treatment. A follow-up endoscopy performed 1 month after the patient was discharged showed that the ulcers had healed. This case highlights the risk of esophageal injuries after ingesting excessive caffeine tablets, which were sold as dietary supplement without a prescription. Our experience indicates that endoscopic surveillance is advisable to prevent severe complications if a patient presents with esophageal symptoms suggestive of chemical esophagitis.
