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
introductionesophageal replacement in children is indicated when it is impossible to maintain the native esophagus, which in the pediatric population includes patients with esophageal atresia and esophageal caustic stenosis. The objective of this communication is to report the experience of a university service with two techniques of esophageal replacement.
methodsthis is a retrospective study based on the revision of hospital files. The study population consisted of patients who underwent esophageal replacement from 1995 to 2022, at the Hospital de Clínicas of the State University of Campinas. The analyzed data were age, sex, underlying disease, technical aspects, complications, and long-term results.
resultsduring the study period, 30 patients underwent esophageal replacement. The most common underlying diseases were esophageal atresia (73.33%) and caustic stenosis (26.67%). Twenty-one patients underwent gastric transposition (70%), and nine underwent esophagocoloplasty (30%). The most frequent postoperative complication was fistula of the proximal anastomosis, which occurred in 14 patients. Most of the patients with fistulas had a spontaneous recovery. There were three deaths. Of the 27 survivors, 24 can feed exclusively by mouth.
conclusionesophageal replacement in children is a procedure with high morbidity and mortality. Esophagocoloplasty and gastric transposition have similar results and complications, with the exception of proximal anastomotic fistulas, which are generally self-resolving and are more common in esophagocoloplasty. The choice of the best surgical technique must be individualized according to the patients characteristics and the surgeons experience, as both techniques offer the ability to feed orally in the short or medium term.
