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
Esophagobronchial and esophagotracheal fistulas are rare but complex diseases with a heterogeneous spectrum of underlying etiologies. Common causes are locally advanced tumors of the esophagus and larynx, traumatic perforation from the esophageal or tracheal side as well as postoperative fistulas. The management of esophagotracheal and esophagobronchial fistulas always involves different health care providers and in most cases patients require a multidisciplinary treatment on the intensive care unit. The therapeutic concept primarily depends on the underlying cause, localization and size of the fistula but decision making is also influenced by the severity of the course of sepsis and the extent of the respiratory dysfunction. Endoscopic management with esophageal and/or tracheobronchial stenting is the most common treatment. Surgical reconstructive procedures are predominantly reserved for patients with a treatment refractory fistula or a septic multiple organ failure. The prognosis is particularly influenced by the underlying disease.
