A Clinical and Radiographic Paradox in a Case of Barium Aspiration.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Barium studies are essential to the diagnostic work-up, especially in dysphagia, heartburn (dyspepsia), or gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). The barium swallow test, or esophagram, is essential in investigating patients with abnormalities within the esophagus. The barium sulfate used is inert to the gastrointestinal tract and causes no harm. However, problems begin when the contrast agent enters the trachea and then into the lungs. The author herein presents a case of barium aspiration in a 60 years old Indian male being investigated for the cause of dysphagia. In this case, the paradox was the radiograph's contradictory features and the patient's clinical features. The large aspiration on the radiograph alerted the clinicians. However, the patient was relatively asymptomatic, and thus a clinical and radiographic paradox should always be kept in the minds of the treating physicians, especially post barium aspiration.
