Laparoscopic transhiatal oesophageal diverticulectomy: An experience of large epiphrenic oesophageal diverticulum and review literature.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery. 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
Epiphrenic diverticulum is a rare abnormality of the distal oesophagus. Both thoracic and abdominal approaches are suitable for this diverticulum. A 46-year-old male presented with complaints of regurgitation and chest pain for 2 years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the neck, thorax, abdomen and oesophageal endoscopy revealed 12 cm × 10 cm size large intrathoracic oesophageal diverticulum. He underwent an elective laparoscopic transabdominal oesophageal diverticulectomy. Gastrograffin study on the first post-operative day did not reveal any leak. In this case report, we are sharing our experience in the management of large epiphrenic oesophageal diverticulum through a laparoscopic approach. The benefits of the laparoscopic approach include decreased morbidity because we can avoid large thoracotomy or laparotomy incision.
