Congenital and Iatrogenic Esophageal Diverticula in Infants and Children: A Case Series of Four Patients.
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
In pediatric patients, esophageal diverticulum (ED) is rare and can be severe, especially when involving the cervical esophagus. Diagnosis and treatment typically start after birth, with some cases managed conservatively. This series presents four ED cases from Jose Marti y Perez Pediatric Teaching Hospital in Cuba (2003-2020). Symptoms included difficulty swallowing, regurgitation, and breathing problems. Three cases required surgery: a five-month-old post-esophageal-coloplasty (managed conservatively), a four-year-old post-esophageal atresia repair (diverticulum partially used to fix a narrow spot), and a 16-year-old with Zenker's diverticulum (requiring surgical removal). A 35-day-old baby with ED post-type C esophageal atresia surgery died from a pre-existing condition. Surviving patients lived healthy lives. ED in pediatrics can be congenital or iatrogenic post-esophageal repair. Reflux symptoms, respiratory distress, or a cervical mass should prompt suspicion of ED.
