Esophageal Mucosal Injuries From Drugs, Radiation, and Caustic Agents.
Review in The Korean journal of helicobacter and upper gastrointestinal research, 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
Various factors can lead to esophageal mucosal injury. A thorough patient history is crucial to accurately diagnose esophageal injuries caused by drugs, radiation, and caustic agents. These conditions are often identifiable based on characteristic clinical features, concomitant diseases, and endoscopic findings and do not necessarily require histological confirmation through biopsies. Regardless of the underlying cause, avoiding or minimizing the offending agent is essential for preventing further mucosal damage. In cases where this is unavoidable, such as radiationinduced esophageal injuries, careful adjustment of the radiation dose, field, and frequency is necessary. Additionally, the use of mucosal protective agents and adherence to a soft diet can help regenerate the mucosal epithelium. Esophageal mucosal injuries can cause chronic complications, such as esophageal strictures; therefore, they require close monitoring. Notably, injuries induced by caustic agents carry an increased risk of progression to esophageal cancer, underscoring the importance of long-term surveillance.
