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

backgroundAorto-esophageal fistula is an extremely rare cause of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of an 80-year-old woman with esophageal cancer who was admitted to our department with hemorrhagic shock due to UGIB. During the diagnostic procedure, emergency computed tomography angiography was performed and confirmed aorto-esophageal fistula. Interventional radiologists inserted a stent graft into the aorta, successfully closing the fistula. Unfortunately, the patient later died of heart failure following irreversible hemorrhagic shock. Autopsy confirmed the aorto-esophageal fistula, which formed 1 cm below the distal edge of the stent previously inserted into the esophagus for a malignant stricture.

conclusionThere are very rare causes of UGIB. Although clinical decisions are made during the diagnostic workup of these patients, we must be aware of the limitations of various therapeutic options, even the most contemporary.
