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 acquired hypopharyngeal diverticulum (Zenker's) is characterized by a posterior wall outpouching of the pharyngeal mucosa and submucosa through the vulnerable points of the pharyngoesophageal junction. We describe the case of a 67-year-old male who was recently diagnosed with Zenker's diverticulum and had complaints of dysphagia and halitosis. An endoscopic treatment (diverticulotomy) was performed without difficulties. The anesthetic management included rapid sequence induction, avoiding succinylcholine, and intraoperative infusion of dexmedetomidine. The neuromuscular blockade was reversed using sugammadex, decreasing the risk of failed extubation and possible airway re-intervention. The patient was discharged home the following day without complications.
