Non-surgical Management of Neonatal Esophageal Perforation: A Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Iatrogenic esophageal perforation in neonates, though rare, is a serious condition with high mortality. It is almost exclusively secondary to invasive instrumentation complications in intensive care settings. Forceful or repeated orogastric (OG) or nasogastric (NG) tube insertion, vigorous suctioning to clear the airway, and trauma during airway intubation are the leading causes. Being rare in occurrence, a high index of suspicion should be maintained for early diagnosis and prompt treatment to prevent mortality. We present a similar case in a 2.6 kg male neonate who developed this complication from OG tube placement in the neonatal intensive care unit during the treatment of respiratory distress and parapneumonic effusion.
