Balloon Tamponade Utilization for Severe Esophagitis Causing Hemorrhagic Shock.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Esophagitis causing upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is associated with significant morbidity. We present a case report of two patients with hemorrhagic shock secondary to esophagitis. Both patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrating severe bleeding pan-esophagitis complicated by hemodynamic instability. Balloon tamponade for hemostasis was performed with resultant hemodynamic improvement. Severe UGIB secondary to esophagitis is difficult to control, with a high risk of complications and limited available endoscopic therapies in extensive mucosal injury. Treatments such as angiography are ineffective due to collateralization and surgery carries high morbidity and mortality. Balloon tamponade provides a rescue option for severe, refractory UGIB secondary to esophagitis.
