Black Esophagus Under the Scope: Gurvits Syndrome in a Patient With Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 60-year-old woman with a history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, and coronary artery disease was admitted to the intensive care unit due to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) triggered by urosepsis. During her stay, she developed upper gastrointestinal bleeding, manifesting as melena. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed circumferential necrosis of the mid-to-distal esophagus, consistent with acute esophageal necrosis (AEN). The patient received supportive treatment, including proton pump inhibitor therapy and sucralfate. A follow-up gastroscopy four weeks later showed a resolution of necrosis but persistent mild esophagitis. This case highlights AEN as a rare complication in patients with uncontrolled type 2 DM and DKA.
