Lung Nodule and Food Bolus Impaction: Can They Be Related?
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Achalasia is a rare primary disorder of esophageal motility characterized by insufficient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and loss of esophageal peristalsis. This results in patient complaints of dysphagia to solids and liquids, regurgitation, chest pain, and weight loss. However, achalasia may also present with respiratory symptoms, such as aspiration pneumonia, due to remarkable regurgitation. In untreated patients and a long period of evolution, respiratory symptoms may even be the initial manifestation of achalasia. An endoscopic finding of retained food and saliva with a puckered gastroesophageal junction or barium swallow showing dilated esophagus with birds beaking in a symptomatic patient should prompt appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. We describe an atypical presentation of a rare disease in a young man with a history of symptoms caused by the late manifestation of achalasia.
