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

Caustic or corrosive substance ingestion that results in severe esophageal and gastric lacerations frequently requires surgical management. The most common sequelae after an upper gastrointestinal tract caustic injury include non-responding luminal strictures, which are subject to esophageal replacement. Late corrective surgery may include esophagectomy with gastric pull-up and jejunal or colonic interpositions. Although long-segment esophageal reconstruction with jejunum is technically feasible and has demonstrated good outcomes, the complexity of the surgery has precluded the widespread use of this procedure in low- and middle-income countries. This document summarizes the most relevant aspects of caustic ingestion surgical management and describes the first Latin American experience in the reconstruction of an esophageal-gastric caustic injury using a pedicled jejunal interposition, as a viable and functional option in mid- and lower-income countries with well-established Thoracic Surgery departments and microsurgery access.
