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

Lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is a rare diagnosis made on esophageal biopsy whose pathogenesis is poorly understood. Since its appearance in the literature 15 years ago, it still remains an enigma due to its low prevalence. In this case report, a 71-year-old male presented with an episode of acute dysphagia due to food impaction. Urgent endoscopy was performed to fragment the food bolus. Repeat endoscopy showed a stricture, and lymphocytic esophagitis was found on esophageal biopsy. A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) was initiated with symptomatic improvement. With its increasing prevalence, lymphocytic esophagitis should be on the differential for causes of dysphagia.
