1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Drug-induced esophagitis (DIE) is a rare condition and doxycycline is responsible for more than 50% of the cases. Most cases can be prevented and treated conservatively. In this case series, four patients with DIE that treated at our center will be presented. Four adolescents, aged 14, 16, 16, and 17 years, presented to the clinic with complaints of dysphagia and odynophagia. All patients had a history of oral doxycycline use for acne vulgaris. Upper GI endoscopy revealed erosions and ulcers in the thoracic esophagus in two cases and in the distal esophagus in the other two cases. All patients were managed conservatively, and follow-up endoscopy showed no development of strictures. DIE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adolescents presenting with dysphagia and odynophagia. Proper education about medication use can reduce the risk of developing esophagitis.
