Minimally invasive oesophagectomy for corrosive oesophageal strictures - A single-centre experience from central India.

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
introductionCorrosive ingestion is a common cause for benign oesophageal stricture in the developing countries. There is limited literature available on the minimally invasive surgical approach for the management of this condition. This study analyses our experience of managing corrosive oesophageal strictures by combined thoraco-laparoscopic approach. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of 24 patients (22 - gastric conduit and 2 - colonic conduit) who underwent minimally invasive oesophagectomy for corrosive oesophageal strictures from January 2019 to December 2023 was done.
resultsThe median age of the patients in the study group was 30.5 years (range 18-60 years). Eighteen patients had a history of accidental corrosive ingestion, and 6 patients with suicidal intent. Post-operative complications included chest infections in 6, recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis in 2, anastomotic leak in 2 and anastomotic stricture in 4 patients. There was one mortality.
conclusionMinimal invasive oesophagectomy for corrosive stricture is technically challenging and needs expertise. It not only permits the native and physiological route for conduit placement but also avoids complications related to retained diseased oesophagus.
