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

AXIOS stents create an anastomotic connection between 2 lumens, facilitating bypass of blockages and strictures as well as drainage of large fluid collections. Historically, AXIOS stents have primarily been used for draining pancreatic fluid collections, with no documented cases of their use within the esophagus until now. In this article, we present a case of a 65-year-old man with cirrhosis admitted for dysphagia. On evaluation, he was diagnosed with type 1 achalasia and concurrent esophageal varices. A novel approach was used, utilizing an AXIOS stent, to provide both symptomatic relief and targeted treatment for his varices.
