Modified thoracoplasty for esophago-pleural fistula following Boerhaave syndrome: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Boerhaave syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Although various optimized treatment methods have contributed to an improvement in the cure rate. However, cases with chronic esophageal pleural fistula and empyema resulting from delayed diagnosis or inadequate treatment occasionally occur. Chronic esophageal pleural fistula and empyema lead to long-term consumption and significant decline in quality of life for patients. We present a case of chronic esophageal-pleural fistula complicated by empyema formation following Boerhaave syndrome, which remained unresolved over a two-year period. A favorable clinical outcome was achieved after the performance of modified thoracoplasty.
