Dabigatran-induced esophagitis: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
rationaleDabigatran is an anticoagulant medication that has been widely used to prevent strokes caused by atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. However, the potential adverse effect of dabigatran of gastrointestinal mucosal injury is often neglected, and even induces esophagitis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 77-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of progressive retrosternal pain, upper abdominal discomfort, and dysphagia. DIAGNOSIS: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed longitudinal sloughing mucosal casts in the distal esophagus. Histological examination showed squamous epithelium with neutrophil infiltration, partial epithelial degeneration, and Helicobacter pylori. Based on a literature review, medical history, and imaging examination, the patient was diagnosed with dabigatran-induced esophagitis.
interventionsThe patient recovered with standard H. pylori eradication therapy and proton pump inhibitor without discontinuing dabigatran. OUTCOMES: After 2 weeks, the retrosternal pain and dysphagia were relieved and upper abdominal discomfort was attenuated. LESSONS: Our case highlights the importance of physicians' awareness of the clinical and endoscopic characteristics of dabigatran-induced esophagitis and the importance of H. pylori-associated tests and eradication if necessary for patients with long-term dabigatran treatment.
