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
Oesophagomediastinal fistula is uncommon. Oesophageal fistulas, may manifest as recurrent pneumonias. While pulmonary infections can lead to pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPs), particularly in fungal infections. PAPs pose a rupture risk, potentially causing life-threatening hemoptysis. We report a unique case of a 45-year-old male who presented with sudden cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy triggered massive hemoptysis, necessitating emergency embolization. Persistent hemoptysis prompted further imaging, revealing an aneurysmal dilation located next to the spine and infectious lesions, suggesting an oesophagomediastinal fistula. After initiating therapy with Amphotericin B Cholesterol Sulfate Complex and fistula closure, the patient's hemoptysis resolved, with imaging resolution of the PAP. Long-term Voriconazole therapy ensured continued improvement. This case highlights the rarity and severity of such fistulas may be associated with fungal infections and PAPs, emphasizing the importance of prompt recognition, aggressive treatment for favourable outcomes.
