1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Total esophageal food impaction is extremely rare. We report a patient with Parkinsonism who presented with total dysphagia to solids and liquids and with inability to swallow her saliva of 3 days duration. She did not present sooner as she was afraid of contracting COVID-19 during hospitalization. Chest CT scan revealed total esophageal food impaction. Awake fiberoptic endotracheal intubation followed by EGD and clearance of the impacted food were performed. This patient illustrates esophageal involvement in Parkinson's disease, delayed presentation with an emergency in the COVID-19 era, and the multidisciplinary approach to minimize the risk of aspiration during endoscopy.
