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

The development of a late fistula between a native unremoved corrosively altered oesophagus and the right lung with subsequent chronic lung abscess formation 34 years after retrosternal colo-oesophagoplasty is an extremely rare complication. According to our review of the English-language literature, such a case has not been described so far. We present a 50-year-old man with complaints of dry cough, periodic epigastric postprandial pain, regurgitation of food and halitosis, which started about seven years ago. Transthoracic right-sided subtotal oesophagectomy and resection of the sixth lung segment were performed. Diagnostics and surgical treatment are discussed.
