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

Epiphrenic diverticulum is a rare condition commonly diagnosed in middle-aged adults. Symptoms include dysphagia and regurgitation, which are associated with underlying esophageal motility disorders. We herein report a 93-year-old woman with dysphagia diagnosed with symptomatic epiphrenic diverticulum by computed tomography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and esophagography. The patient was successfully treated non-surgically without any complications. This case demonstrates that conservative treatment is an option for older high-risk patients.
