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

backgroundH-type Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF) is a particular type of congenital esophageal anomalies, in which patients present with non-specific symptoms that can result in delayed diagnosis. Here, we report two pediatric cases with a rarer variant called ‟dual H-type TEFˮ. CASE PRESENTATION: We present two cases of H-type TEF. The first was a 45-day-old boy with feeding problem and cyanosis while feeding, and the second was a three-month-old girl with cough and choking after feeding from the first day of birth. In both cases, two separate TEFs were detected during diagnostic evaluation by flexible bronchoscopy. Both were repaired simultaneously through a cervical incision. The first patient deteriorated 13 days after the surgery, disturbancing in acid-base balance and expired unfortunately.

conclusionHence, it is necessary to consider the possibility of double TEF in any newly diagnosed H-type TEF.
