A Case of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome in an Omani Woman.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) is the triad of iron-deficiency anemia, esophageal webs and dysphagia. This article discusses the first reported case of PVS from Oman. A female patient in her 40s presented with a one-year history of dysphagia and odynophagia and a known background of untreated iron-deficiency anemia. After an elaborate workup, a diagnosis of PVS was made following visualization of the esophageal web with barium swallow study and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). A prompt and accurate diagnosis of PVS, although rare, is crucial, given that it is, at times, a precancerous condition. The treatment with iron therapy is the cornerstone of management, and it corrects the anemia as well as the dysphagia. If dysphagia persists, endoscopic dilation can be carried out.
