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

Background: Pharyngoesophageal diverticulum, including the most common Zenker's diverticulum, Killian-Jamieson diverticulum, and the rarer Laimer's diverticulum, require accurate differentiation for proper treatment. This case report explores the endoscopic features and the diagnostic and therapeutic value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the management of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum. Case Presentation: A 57-year-old woman presented with dysphagia for solids over the past three months. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed an esophageal diverticulum located below the upper esophageal sphincter. EUS measured the diverticulum to be 1.0 cm by 1.4 cm and confirmed the absence of muscularis propria, thereby ruling out Laimer's diverticulum. The patient underwent flexible endoscopic septum division (FESD) without any adverse events. A barium esophagram three months post-surgery indicated a left-sided Killian-Jamieson diverticulum. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of combining endoscopic features with barium swallow and EUS for accurate diagnosis of Killian-Jamieson diverticulum. The results suggest that such an integrated diagnostic approach enhances diagnostic accuracy and guides treatment, offering insights into the management of pharyngoesophageal diverticulum.
