Esophageal Achalasia: An Unusual Cause of Respiratory Distress.
Article in Case reports in critical care, 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
Esophageal achalasia is a rare condition affecting both men and women. It is a motility disorder of the esophagus resulting in the lack of relaxation of the lower sphincter, yielding to food stasis. While the condition typically presents with dysphagia and regurgitation, advanced stages may lead to severe complications including dyspnea and even acute respiratory distress. We herein report the case of a patient admitted to an intensive care unit following emergency prehospital management for acute respiratory failure and hemodynamic instability. The patient required invasive mechanical ventilation and vasopressor support due to tracheal compression and involvement of the cardiac, arterial, and venous structures. The diagnosis of esophageal achalasia was initially suspected. Based on CT, endoscopic esophageal decompression was performed, the situation dramatically improved, and diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by esophageal manometry.
