Dystrophic epidermolysis with dilation of esophageal stricture: A case report.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare disease and the associated esophageal stricture is frequently complicated by the lack of clinical experience. The present study reported a very rare case of DEB in a 37-year-old male, who was admitted to Shenzhen Hospital (Shenzhen, China) due to an esophageal stricture. The patient received esophageal dilation under digital subtraction angiography. In this patient, dilation therapy was effective and safe. The patient underwent skin biopsies, and histological examination of the resected tissue specimens confirmed DEB diagnosis. The patient was followed up in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shenzhen Hospital, for 2 years without any recurrence of esophageal stricture. This is the first case report of dilation therapy in a very rare case of DEB with a satisfactory outcome, but the long-term efficacy needs further observation. In addition, the latest relevant literature was reviewed and it was found that this treatment is uncommonly reported, as is the condition.
