Alport-leiomyomatosis syndrome requiring subtotal esophagectomy for refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease after childhood partial esophagogastrectomy: a case report.

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
Alport-leiomyomatosis syndrome is an extremely rare condition occurring at a young age in which Alport syndrome coexists with diffuse leiomyomatosis of the digestive tract (primarily the esophagus). Most patients with diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis require esophagectomy of variable extents. A 20-year-old man with Alport-leiomyomatosis syndrome was diagnosed with dysphasia and hematuria in childhood. Although he underwent partial esophagogastrectomy at 8 years of age, extremely severe gastroesophageal reflux symptoms were noted postoperatively. He was diagnosed with refractory severe reflux esophagitis associated with diffuse leiomyomatosis and esophagogastric anastomosis, for which he underwent subtotal esophagectomy, gastric tube reconstruction, and esophagogastric anastomosis in the left neck. The postoperative course was generally good, and he had no postoperative reflux symptoms. To achieve long-term control of symptoms, the lesion must be removed completely; nevertheless, unnecessarily extensive esophagectomy should be avoided.
