Amoxycillin-Clavulanic Acid-Induced Esophageal Ulcer: An Unusual Cause.
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 2 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
Pill-induced esophagitis or esophageal ulcers are considered when patients have retrosternal chest pain or odynophagia following the ingestion of suspicious medications. Various drugs have been reported to induce esophageal ulcers. However, amoxycillin-clavulanic acid-induced esophagitis or esophageal ulcer has not been reported in literature. Hence, we report the case of a 30-year-old Thai male who presented with acute, severe odynophagia and retrosternal chest pain. He had a history of taking amoxycillin-clavulanic acid for 12 days. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed and revealed geographic clean-based ulcers, with a kissing-ulcer appearance at the level of the mid-esophagus. A biopsy was taken and revealed inflamed granulation tissue and an ulcer with neither infection nor malignancy. Thus, the diagnosis of an amoxycillin-clavulanic acid-induced esophageal ulcer was made according to the clinicopathologic report.
