Effects of the lavage through fistula in treatment of spontaneous esophageal rupture by combined thoracoscopic and gastroscopic management.
Article in World journal of emergency surgery : WJES, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSpontaneous esophageal rupture (SER) is a rare and severe emergency with high mortality, and the treatment algorithm remains controversial.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed SER cases that underwent VATS debridement and drainage in Jinling Hospital from January 2014 to July 2024. Patients were divided into Lavage-Drainage and Drainage groups based on whether they received a lavage tube cathetering through the esophageal fistula under gastroscope. Preoperative fluid resuscitation, thoracoscopic mediastinotomy, and thoracic debridement were performed. Post-operative management included fasting, enteral nutrition, anti-infective agents, and fluid and electrolyte balance maintenance. Monitoring indicators included vital signs, laboratory test results, postoperative complications, and other relevant factors.
resultsA total of 24 patients were enrolled, with 11 in the Lavage-Drainage group and 13 in the Drainage group. The Lavage-Drainage group had lower 30-day mortality, fewer complications and adverse events, and a faster reduction in inflammatory factors, but a higher cost. There was no significant difference in the length of mechanical ventilation, hospital stay, and ICU stay.
conclusionsThe Lavage-Drainage approach enhanced the drainage efficiency, reduced the inflammation level, and improved the prognosis of SER. However, this study has some limitations, and further multi-center prospective studies are needed to optimize the treatment and reduce costs.
