The boy who lived: staged repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula in a 32-week, 1.5 kg infant, and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) associated with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare and often fatal combination with reported survival rates of 6%-26%. We aim to analyze the literature on left sided CDH with EA and TEF and report our experience, hypothesizing that delaying right chest approach for EA/TEF repair improves outcomes. We report a case of a 1.5 kg 32-week patient who survived a staged approach of initial CDH repair and abdominal control of TEF with gastrostomy to water seal and vessel loop encircling the gastroesophageal junction followed by EA/TEF repair at 18 days of life. This case report and review of the literature highlights the benefit of a staged surgical approach for left CDH, EA, and TEF; initially proceeding with CDH repair and abdominal control of the TEF first, followed by EA/TEF repair once the patient stabilizes.
