Management of Esophageal Cancer-Associated Respiratory-Digestive Tract Fistulas.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Respiratory-digestive tract fistulas are fatal complications that occur in esophageal cancer treatment. Interdisciplinary treatment strategies are still evolving, especially in anatomical treatment stratification. Thus, this study aims to evaluate general therapeutic strategies for this rare condition. Medical records were reviewed for esophageal cancer-associated respiratory-digestive tract fistula patients treated between January 2008 and September 2021. Fistulas were classified according to being surgery- and tumor-associated. Treatment strategies, clinical success, and survival were analyzed. A total of 51 patients were identified: 28 had tumor-associated fistulas and 23 surgery-associated fistulas. Risk factors for fistula development such as radiation (OR = 0.290, p = 0.64) or stent implantation (OR = 1.917,
