Black Esophagus in the Setting of Diabetic Ketoacidosis: A Rare Finding from Our Institution.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is defined as necrosis of the esophageal mucosa seen as diffuse black discoloration of the distal esophagus on an upper endoscopy. The prevalence of the disease is rare and reported to be up to 0.2% in autopsy series. The etiology of the disease is thought to be multifactorial and due to ischemic insults to the esophagus with gastric acid reflux further damaging the vulnerable mucosa. Patients are often critically ill or with significant comorbidities. Here, we present a case series of 3 patients with AEN induced by diabetic ketoacidosis.
