Three Cases of Boerhaave's Syndrome Treated via Laparoscopic Transhiatal Esophageal Repair.
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 2 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
Spontaneous esophageal perforation in Boerhaave's syndrome results in significant morbidity and mortality. The gold standard treatment for this disease is thoracotomy and laparotomy because it can be a life-saving procedure that can be performed in emergencies; however, minimally invasive surgery has recently been reported. This report describes three cases of Boerhaave's syndrome that were treated using laparoscopic transhiatal suture and omental patch. One patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged from the hospital after 12 days. The other 2 patients had postoperative complications, such as minor leakage and remnant abscess (Clavien-Dindo Grade II), but were discharged from the hospital after 17 days and 30 days, respectively. In the case of Boerhaave's syndrome with localized mediastinal collections, a good clinical course can be obtained by laparoscopic transhiatal esophageal repair to avoid surgical invasion due to thoracotomy.
