Bronchoesophageal fistula: An unusual manifestation of lung cancer.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Bronchoesophageal fistula (BEF) is a rare condition caused by a fistulous connection between the bronchus and the esophagus. BEF can be acquired or congenital; congenital BEFs are rarely encountered in adults. Acquired BEF can be due to either a benign or a malignant process. Acquired BEF due to primary lung cancer is a life-threatening and usually a terminal complication. Unlike tracheoesophageal fistula, this condition is much rarer. Patients usually present with symptoms related to recurrent aspiration. Barium esophagogram is the initial diagnostic modality of choice. Treatment is primarily palliative. We are presenting a case of a bronchoesophageal fistula caused by non-small cell lung cancer that was successfully treated with concurrent chemoradiation therapy.
