A Rare Coexistence: Achalasia Esophagus and Acute Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction.
Article in Cureus, 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
Achalasia esophagus and acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction are distinct gastrointestinal motility disorders rarely found together in the same patient. We present a case of a 96-year-old woman exhibiting symptoms of both conditions, including dysphagia, regurgitation, abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Diagnostic evaluations revealed esophageal dilation with a "bird beak" sign on timed barium swallows and significant bowel dilation without mechanical obstruction on computed tomography scans. Treatment involved conservative measures for acute intestinal pseudo-obstruction and palliative approaches for achalasia esophagus. The coexistence of these disorders raises questions about potential shared pathophysiological mechanisms involving the enteric nervous system or smooth muscle dysfunction. Further research is warranted to elucidate these connections and improve management strategies for such complex cases.
