Complete Esophageal Obstruction Due to Dysphagia Lusoria and Subclavian Artery Thrombosis: A Case Report.

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
Dysphagia lusoria is a rare condition caused by esophageal compression from an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). Although often asymptomatic, complications such as aneurysmal dilation or thrombosis can result in severe presentations, including complete esophageal obstruction. Herein, we report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a five-year history of progressive dysphagia and significant weight loss. During her hospitalization for urosepsis and acute kidney injury, she developed complete esophageal obstruction, preventing oral intake. Imaging revealed an ARSA with significant parietal thrombosis, compressing the esophagus posteriorly. This confirmed the diagnosis of dysphagia lusoria complicated by ARSA thrombosis. Conservative measures failed, and she was referred for vascular surgical evaluation. This case highlights a rare but severe presentation of dysphagia lusoria with complete esophageal obstruction due to ARSA thrombosis. Early recognition and multidisciplinary management are critical for optimizing outcomes. Definitive treatment often requires surgical intervention, particularly in the setting of complications like thrombosis.
