Endoluminal Wound Vacuum Therapy: A Paradigm Shift in Managing Esophageal Bronchial Fistula.

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 bronchial fistula after Ivor Lewis esophagectomy is a challenging complication. Surgical treatment is definitive, but it carries high morbidity and mortality, whereas esophageal stents have been shown to be temporary measures. We highlight the case of a patient who was treated with endoluminal wound vacuum therapy. The fistula healed after 9 days of therapy. The likely reason for success was the presence of an omentum between the esophagus and the bronchus that was placed during esophagectomy and that provided adequate tissue to close the fistula. In a patient with appropriate anatomy, esophageal bronchial fissure can be successfully treated with endoluminal wound vacuum therapy.
