An extremely dangerous case of acute massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a case report.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundUpper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a severe acute disease of gastroenterology department. Fish bone is the most common food-related foreign body. However, fish bone piercing the esophagus, causing the mediastinal abscess that corroded the left subclavian artery, resulting delayed but high-risk massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding is very rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 54-year-old man who was diagnosed with delayed but high-risk massive upper GI bleeding that was the result of a fish bone piercing the esophagus, causing a mediastinal abscess that corroded the left subclavian artery. He was saved effectively by early and timely multidisciplinary collaboration.
conclusionA fish bone-caused mediastinal abscess that corrodes the left subclavian artery and induces delayed but high-risk massive upper GI bleeding is very rare. In addition to routine consideration of upper GI bleeding, medical history, endoscopy and CT are helpful for achieving a diagnosis. Importantly, early and timely multidisciplinary collaboration can effectively save critically ill patients.
