Iatrogenic Esophagopleural Fistula After the Management of Acute Variceal Hemorrhage With Minnesota Tube Placement.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2022. 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
An esophagopleural fistula (EPF) is a rare condition. EPFs are typically of spontaneous, iatrogenic, or neoplastic origin. A 50-year-old man with hepatitis C and alcoholic cirrhosis presented with a history of recurrent variceal hemorrhage requiring esophageal banding, Minnesota tube placement, and a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt. His hospital course after esophageal perforation and EPF was complicated by acute respiratory failure and empyema, necessitating intubation and thoracostomy tube placement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of EPF secondary to Minnesota tube placement. The EPF completely healed after endoscopic repair.
