Malignant Broncho-Oesophageal Fistula following Radiotherapy for Noninvasive T3 Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Malignant tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TEF) can result from tumour progression and invasion of adjacent organs, or a complication of treatment. In the posttreatment setting, incidence of TEF in cases with preceding airway invasion (T4b) are not infrequently reported; however, for those for whom disease was confined to organ (T1-3) at staging, this is a rare complication. Management for these cases is palliative in nature, with the goal to prevent aspiration by closing the connection and facilitate safe resumption of oral intake where possible. Herein we report a case of a 71-year-old female with a T3 oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma, who presented with new onset dysphagia 2 weeks after completing a course of definitive radiotherapy and was found to have a broncho-oesophageal fistula. This patient was managed with dual stenting of both the airway and oesophagus, an emerging management option for this condition, and was thereafter able to safely resume oral intake.
