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 69-year-old woman had received hemodialysis for chronic renal failure and was taking lanthanum carbonate since 63 years of age. She presented with appetite loss and nausea. We performed esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which revealed multiple longitudinal white plaques in the esophagus. Lesion biopsies showed lanthanum deposition, and lanthanum carbonate was found histologically by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The plaques of this patient appeared like those of dabigatran-induced esophagitis, and may have occurred due to long-term contact of the esophageal epithelium with lanthanum carbonate because patient spent time in lying state. Although a few studies regarding lanthanum deposition in the stomach have been conducted, there are no reports on lanthanum deposition in the esophagus. This case suggests that the presence of longitudinal white plaques in the esophagus may indicate lanthanum deposition.
