A rare case of esophageal perforation following a choking episode with complicated course: management and outcomes.

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
Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare yet lethal condition defined as a full-thickness disruption of the esophageal wall, associated with high morbidity and mortality. We describe a 30-year-old man who developed EP following a choking episode while eating meat. Despite initial management with gastroscopy, the patient experienced serious complications such as stents migration and development of broncho-esophageal fistulae. He underwent thoracotomy, debridement, and esophageal repair. He was also treated with esophageal stenting, chest physiotherapy and progressive oral intake. The patient eventually improved and was discharged in stable condition. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and proper management of EP, as well as the challenges involved in timely diagnosis and treatment.
