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

A 68-year-old male with active amphetamine use presented to the hospital with acute emesis, odynophagia, and mid-sternal chest pain. Imaging was initially concerning for esophageal perforation. After full evaluation including barium esophagram and serial computed tomography (CT) of the chest, no esophageal perforation was confirmed. He underwent endoscopy, which identified white, circumferential plaques along the length of the esophagus. Gross appearance on endoscopy was consistent with Candidal esophagitis. Ultimately, pathology was negative for fungal elements, and esophagitis was attributed to amphetamine use. We report a rare case of amphetamine-induced esophagitis and discuss the initial management of esophageal perforation, risk factors for, and diagnostic mimickers of Candidal esophagitis.
