Aorticoesophagal Fistula Combined with Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding after Endovascular Dissection of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. 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
Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a relatively rare and potentially fatal disease. Secondary AEF is rare but is associated with serious complications and high mortality. There are rare cases of esophageal mediastinal fistula after descending aortic aneurysm stent implantation. We report the case of a 76-year-old man who had upper abdominal distension, without obvious inducement, for 3 months and felt fullness after a meal, accompanied by anorexia. A chest computer tomography (CT) examination of the abdomen was performed with the outside hospital. Descending thoracic aortic aneurysm was discovered and was treated with stent implantation. The patient was transferred to our hospital to continue treatment, mainly because of an esophageal mediastinal fistula. Finally, the thoracic aortic aneurysm was diagnosed as AEF after stent implantation, combined with the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We hope that, through this case, we can explain the possible causes of bronchial mediastinal fistula after stent implantation of descending aortic aneurysm and the mechanism of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
