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

Achalasia type II is a rare esophageal motility disorder characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a safe and minimally invasive procedure for achalasia. Although rare, complications such as esophageal perforation and pleural effusion can arise. This case study presents a 69-year-old woman with achalasia type II who developed esophageal perforation and empyema after POEM. Initial management with hemostatic clips was insufficient due to stent migration, necessitating a 135-mm fully covered self-expandable metal stent. Due to persistent leakage due to stent migration, a mega stent was ultimately placed, successfully sealing the esophageal leak. This report highlights the efficacy of mega stents as a viable option for managing recurrent esophageal leaks and complications post-POEM, especially in cases where stent migration complicates traditional approaches.
