Ingestion of corrosive substances and the endoscopic role in assessing the severity of caustic injury.

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
Introduction: The ingestion of caustic substances into the upper gastrointestinal tract is an unusual but potentially life-threatening problem. Aim: To evaluate the most commonly ingested corrosive substances, and the endoscopic findings, complications, and final outcomes of caustic intake. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study included 220 inpatient participants with corrosive poisonings during a 3-year period (2017-2019). Data from the national patient electronic system "My term" and from the "Poisoning information centre" at the University Clinic for Toxicology, Skopje were used. Demographic characteristics, type of corrosive substance, endoscopic findings by Kikendall classification, emerging complications, fatal outcome, and hospitalization were analysed. Data obtained were analysed with the SPSS software package, version 22.0 for Windows. Results: During the period 2017-2019, out of 220 hospitalized cases with corrosive substance intake, 132 (60%) were with ingestion of acids, 19 (8.6%) with bases, 32 (14.6%) with bleaches, and 37 (16.8%) with other household products ( Conclusions: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is very important procedure for rapid assessment of severity of caustic injury, early appropriate therapy, as well as the potential development of strictures. The obtained data are very important for the development of a national program for the prevention of corrosive poisoning in our country.
