Double aortic arch in Honduras: an unusual cause of dysphagia in an adult patient. A case report.
Article in Archivos peruanos de cardiologia y cirugia cardiovascular. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Vascular rings represent less than 1% of congenital cardiovascular anomalies, with double aortic arch being the most common variant. It is typically diagnosed in infants, with respiratory symptoms in over 90% of cases. We present the case of a 31-year-old male patient with recurrent childhood respiratory infections and asthma, who presented with progressive dysphagia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography revealed a double aortic arch with right-sided dominance, and the esophagram revealed compression of the proximal third of the esophagus. A left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed with division of the distal left arch, division of the ligamentum arteriosum, adhesions release, and thoracic aorta reconstruction. Postoperative recovery was favorable, with complete resolution of symptoms. Double aortic arch is rarely diagnosed in adulthood. This case highlights its atypical presentation, with predominant gastrointestinal symptoms, and the importance of considering it in the differential diagnosis of dysphagia.
