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

Esophageal diverticulum is a rare condition characterized by the herniation of the esophageal mucosa outside the esophageal wall. Here, we explore the prevalence of ED and its associated esophageal dysmotility. We also shed light on the potential impact of previous surgical interventions, such as Nissen's fundoplication, on the development of ED. This manuscript presents the case of a 72-year-old woman with a history of Nissen's fundoplication surgery who experienced worsening symptoms of dysphagia, heartburn and postprandial cough. Despite exhibiting a normal motility pattern, upper endoscopy revealed a large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum. The patient underwent successful surgical resection with myotomy, resulting in the resolution of symptoms with no complications. This case highlights the rarity of symptomatic ED and the need to recognize it while choosing the optimal treatment modality.
