Acute Esophageal Necrosis: A Successfully Managed 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
Acute esophageal necrosis is a rare condition associated with a poor prognosis. It typically presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and diagnosis is established via upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Its etiology is often multifactorial and recommendations regarding its management and treatment are scarce and of low evidence level. We present the case of an 80-year-old male with multiple medical comorbidities, who presented to the Emergency Department with upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with sepsis of an unknown origin. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a necrotic and ulcerated esophagus in almost its entire extension, sparing only the proximal esophagus, which is consistent with stage I acute esophageal necrosis. He was managed with supportive care and discharged home in a stable condition. This report shows that early recognition and subsequent resuscitation are the keystones of management, regardless of diagnostic uncertainty.
