Retrograde tubing as a rescue treatment for megaoesophagus: a case report.
Article in BMJ open gastroenterology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a genetic disease of the autonomous and sensory nervous systems. Severe gastro-oesophageal reflux is common and one of the major complications. Some patients with FD develop megaoesophagus. Oesophageal malfunction, accompanied by oesophageal food and secretion retention, results in recurrent aspiration and other severe respiratory complications. Through a traditional case report, we wish to show how reverse tubing of the oesophagus can lead to significant symptomatic improvement in these patients. Moreover, this technique can serve as an alternative treatment for other oesophageal motility disorders.
