Progressive dysphagia from an esophageal liposarcoma, a complex problem in a challenging setting.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Esophageal lipomatous tumors are extremely rare, and due to their nonspecific clinical manifestations, distinguishing them is nearly impossible without the aid of histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular analysis. Complete resection with clear margins is the treatment of choice to avert metastasis, improve prognosis, and prevent complex complications due to the polyp growth and location. We present the case of a 70-year-old male who presented in 2023 with dysphagia due to an esophageal polyp; surgery was recommended. However, he did not accept any treatment due to fear. One year later, and since his symptoms worsened, he finally decided to undergo endoscopic treatment at another medical institution. However, during that procedure, he suffered severe asphyxia, which caused a cardiopulmonary arrest. Once he partially recovered and because he continued with dysphagia, surgery was completed, and the polyp was removed. The final diagnosis was esophageal liposarcoma.
