Endoscopic Assessment and Serial Balloon Dilatation in a Toddler With Dyskeratosis Congenita-Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson Syndrome Following Bone Marrow Transplant: A Case Report.
Article in JPGN reports, 2023. 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
We report a 3-year-old patient with suspected oropharyngeal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) who developed progressive dysphagia to solids and liquids. The patient has a history of Dyskeratosis Congenita-Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson Syndrome with associated bone marrow failure requiring a nonmyeloablative matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Esophagram revealed significant narrowing in the cricopharyngeal region. Subsequent esophagoscopy showed a proximal, high-grade pinhole esophageal stricture that was very difficult to visualize and cannulate. High-grade esophageal strictures are uncommon in very young children with GVHD. We believe the patient's underlying Dyskeratosis Congenita-Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson Syndrome in the setting of inflammatory changes seen in GVHD following hematopoietic stem cell transplant set the stage for a high-grade esophageal obstruction. The patient's symptoms improved with serial endoscopic balloon dilation.
