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

Dysphagia is a common clinical symptom in older people that can be attributed to a wide range of diseases, extending from neoplasm to gastroesophageal reflux diseases such as stroke or achalasia. We are presenting a case of a 78-year-old male with a history of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and progressive dysphagia, due to a rare case, namely, dysphagia megalatriensis. Even though left ventricular ejection fraction was preserved, the patient improved, when we provided him with optimal medical heart failure with reduced ejection fraction treatment. In our case report, we intend to highlight the benefits of optimized medical therapy in a patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, due to mitral valve regurgitation leading to a hugely dilated left atrium.
