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

backgroundSeveral studies have identified genetic factors that are associated with the formation of isolated and non-isolated esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) in human and mice. Some of these genetic factors like FOXF1/Foxf1 are associated with Barrett syndrome, esophageal carcinoma or tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we investigated the prevalence of common gastrointestinal diseases among EA/TEF patients and their first- and second-degree relatives (parents and grandparents).

methodsWe send out a questionnaire to 280 EA/TEF families asking for the presence of Barrett syndrome, Achalasia and carcinoma of the esophagus, the stomach, the small and large intestine among first- and second-degree relatives.

resultsIn 32 of 124 families we found at least one affected family member with a possible association of colon carcinoma and the occurrence of EA/TEF within the same family.

conclusionsFurther studies are needed to evaluate a possible association.
