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

We describe a case of severe odynophagia and dysphagia caused by dry scooping of multi-ingredient pre-workout powder (MIPS) with diffuse esophageal ulcerations on upper endoscopy. Dry scooping refers to ingesting work out supplements without the recommended doses of solvent. This trend has been the subject of TikTok and other social media sites aimed at enhancing workout performance. While caustic ingestions leading to esophageal ulcers and strictures are well known, dry scooping ingestion of pre-workout powder as an etiology has not been described. Though caffeine may be the predominant content in such powders, the exact composition and ratios of other constituents, including amino acids, are less clear. Complete abstinence from ingestion of the pre-workout formulation and the use of a proton pump inhibitor therapy led to significant clinical and endoscopic recovery over a 4-week period. A thorough history of ingestions, including supplements, is critical when unraveling emerging etiologies of esophageal ulcerations.
