Esophagomediastinal fistula due to secondary esophageal tuberculosis: report of two cases.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Esophageal tuberculosis is rare among digestive system diseases. We herein present two cases of esophageal tuberculosis. One patient presented with a choking sensation and pain in the chest, and the other presented with loss of appetite and emaciation. Both patients had an esophagomediastinal fistula, underwent endoscopic ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration, were clinically diagnosed with esophageal tuberculosis, received antituberculosis treatment, and exhibited clinical improvement. These two rare cases suggest that the possibility of esophageal tuberculosis should be considered in patients with an esophagomediastinal fistula. Endoscopic ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration can be performed to assist the diagnosis. Good clinical results can often be achieved with timely antituberculosis treatment.
