Navigating the Confluence of Esophageal Disruption and Pyopneumothorax: A Complex Clinical Encounter.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Esophagopleural fistula (EPF) is a rare complication often associated with underlying esophageal malignancies. We present the case of a 64-year-old male who presented with left-sided pyopneumothorax and was diagnosed with EPF secondary to esophageal carcinoma. Imaging studies revealed a hydropneumothorax with an esophageal-pulmonary fistula communicating with the pleural cavity. The diagnosis was confirmed through computed tomography (CT) scan with oral contrast administration, highlighting the utility of this modality in diagnosing EPF. The patient was further referred to the surgical oncology team for esophageal resection and fistula closure.
