1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 Crohn's disease is uncommon and difficult to identify, especially in the adult population. In this study, we report a biologic-naïve patient with colonic Crohn's disease complicated by recurrent esophageal strictures despite many dilations, who presented to our center with recurrent aspiration pneumonia. He was found to have a tracheoesophageal fistula as the likely etiology. After multidisciplinary discussion, he underwent esophagectomy given the severity of his stenosis. The patient's surgical course was complicated by dysphonia and aspiration due to unilateral vocal cord paralysis, which resolved with vocal cord injection. This case highlights a severe manifestation of esophageal Crohn's disease.
