Aetiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Oesophageal Perforation: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Oesophageal perforation (OP) is a life-threatening condition and refers to a tear or disruption in the oesophageal wall. It is considered a medical emergency due to its significant implications, often related to its various causes, such as iatrogenic perforation during endoscopy, Boerhaave syndrome, traumatic injury, foreign body ingestion, and tumour perforation. Early interventions, diagnosis, and a thorough physical examination are essential for better clinical outcomes. Diagnostic procedures and imaging techniques, play a crucial role in confirming OP. The diagnostic workup, based on the index of suspicion, may involve barium oesophagram or contrast-enhanced CT. Once diagnosed, classification of severity using the Pittsburgh clinical severity score guides treatment decisions. Management can be non-surgical or surgical and focuses on a multi-disciplinary approach combining conservative, surgical, or endoscopic methods. Surgical control remains crucial, with the approach dependent on the location of the leak. Improved knowledge of this life-threatening condition is important among healthcare professionals. The objective of this review is to provide information about oesophageal perforation and its early detection, management, and multidisciplinary interventions for optimal patient outcomes.
