Submucosal Partial Denture in the Esophagus: A Case of Foreign Body Removal.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
A male in his 30s presented to a gastroenterology clinic and subsequently to an otolaryngology - head and neck surgery clinic for a one-month history of progressive dysphagia. X-ray was unrevealing, and CT demonstrated non-specific esophageal wall thickening inferior to the post-cricoid area. Esophagoscopy by head and neck surgery in the operating room revealed a submucosal protrusion of the posterior wall of the cervical esophagus. After unroofing the overlying mucosa, a broad, flat lesion was grasped, removed, and identified as a large plastic device consistent with a partial denture. The patient did not experience any post-operative complications, and a follow-up esophagram on post-operative day seven showed no evidence of leak. Manual manipulation techniques, including biopsy attempts, can play an important role in unroofing an apparent submucosal foreign body in the esophagus.
