An Epiphrenic Diverticulum with Previous Perforation Excised Laparoscopically.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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
An epiphrenic diverticulum (ED) is a rare pseudodiverticulum commonly located at the lower end of the oesophagus. Surgical treatment is only required in patients with worsening dysphagia or repeated chest infection due to microaspirations, and most patients are now treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) using the laparoscopic or thoracoscopic approach. Laparoscopic surgery is considered difficult in the presence of previous perforation of the diverticula owing to the intraperitoneal and mediastinal adhesions and is associated with an increased incidence of complications. We were able to perform a laparoscopic transhiatal resection safely on a patient who had a large ED with a wide neck and dense abdominal and mediastinal adhesions due to previous localized perforation.
