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

Patients with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) are at increased risk of conditions including gastroesophageal reflux, peptic esophagitis, gastric metaplasia, anastomotic strictures, eosinophilic esophagitis, and dysphagia. Patients with TEF-EA may need serial endoscopy in their lifetime given the known short- and long-term GI complications. There has been increased interest in pediatric unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) as an endoscopic alternative as it is lower cost, has shorter recovery time, and eliminates potential risks associated with anesthesia. We report on the use of TNE with EA-TEF in four patients: One patient had gastroesophageal reflux disease, one patient had eosinophilic esophagitis and TNE was used for surveillance in two patients. Use of TNE allowed for close endoscopic monitoring and changes in medication management. The third and fourth patients underwent TNE as part of routine EA-TEF screening which is recommended by societal guidelines (Krishnan et al, J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2016;63(5):550-570). Unsedated TNE is an alternative endoscopic approach in the management of patients with EA-TEF.
