A Rare Case of Candida-Induced Acute Phlegmonous Esophagitis Complicated by Pericarditis and Myocarditis.

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
Acute phlegmonous esophagitis is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by inflammation of the submucosal and muscular layers of the esophagus. While bacterial infections are the most common etiology, fungal causes are exceedingly rare and poorly documented. We report the case of a 50-year-old immunosuppressed man with multiple autoimmune diseases, including Sjögren's syndrome, primary biliary cholangitis, and autoimmune hepatitis. He had been receiving long-term corticosteroid therapy for disease control. He developed progressive dysphagia followed by acute chest pain and septic shock. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed diffuse esophageal wall thickening with periesophageal fluid accumulation, and endoscopy showed mucosal erythema and circumferential white plaques in the esophagus. Histopathological examination of biopsy specimens confirmed
