1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The ideal management of bronchoesophageal fistulas is a debated topic. While open surgical repair remains the most definitive treatment, not all patients are fit for surgery. In this communication, we present a patient who developed a bronchoesophageal fistula 1 year after an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy that involved the native oesophagus and right mainstem bronchus. Endoluminal vacuum therapy was successful at closing this benign bronchoesophageal fistula.
