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
Anastomotic leakage is one of the major complications of esophageal surgery with a high mortality rate and significant morbidity. We describe a case of severe anastomotic leakage close to the hypopharynx after esophageal cancer resection. Despite the conservative management with external drainage, the severe leak did not improve. A fully covered self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) with short flares, which was designed for the cervical esophagus, was subsequently placed bridging the anastomosis to seal the fistula. The post-procedural course was uneventful, and the stent was endoscopically removed after three weeks without any complications. The patient was discharged home three weeks after the stent removal. Our results suggest that placement of fully covered SEMS with short flares may be a safe and effective treatment in this condition of patients.
