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
Background and Aim: According to the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE), gastroscopy should be conducted within 6 h for complete obstruction and 24 h for incomplete obstruction due to food bolus impaction. This study explores whether adults with acute esophageal food bolus (FB) impaction experience adverse outcomes when their time to esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) deviates from the recommended guidelines. Methods: A retrospective review was performed on the records of 248 patients who presented at the study site between 2015 and 2022 with symptoms of FB impaction. Results: Two hundred and forty-eight patients underwent EGD for FB impaction. Grade 1 (erosion, ulceration), Grade 2 (tear), and Grade 3 (perforation) complications were present in 31.6%, 6.9%, and 0.8% of cases, respectively. Of the 134 (54.0%) patients with complete obstruction, 51 (38.1%) received EGD within the recommended 6 h. Of the 114 (46%) patients with incomplete obstructions, 93 (81.6%) received EGD within the recommended 24 h. There was no statistically significant correlation between length of stay (LOS) post-EGD and any of ingestion to presentation time, presentation to EGD time, or ingestion to EGD time. Age and complication level were greater predictors of longer LOS than presentation to EGD time. Patients who presented in hours were significantly more likely to receive EGD within the 6- and 24-h guidelines than those who presented out of hours (50.7% Conclusion: Neither time to EGD from ingestion of food bolus nor time to EGD from hospital presentation correlated with complication rate, complication severity, or length of stay post-EGD.
