Esophageal Obstruction from Food Bolus Impaction Successfully Managed with the "Upright Posture, Chin Tuck, Double Swallow" Maneuver: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine, 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
introductionAn attempt at medical management is often the initial step in addressing esophageal obstruction from an impacted food bolus. Medical management, however, has limited success and often requires urgent endoscopy. We present a case in which standard medical treatment failed, but a swallowing augmentation maneuver resolved the obstruction. CASE REPORT: A 67-year-old female presented with esophageal obstruction after eating steak. Transfer to higher level of care for endoscopy was initiated; however, the receiving gastroenterologist suggested an "upright posture, chin tuck, double swallow" maneuver. This immediately resolved the patient's symptoms, and she was discharged home.
conclusionThis case suggests a novel, non-endoscopic technique for esophageal obstruction from food bolus impaction.
