Right colon interposition in benign esophageal stricture and gastric atrophy: technical nuances and functional outcomes from a complex case.
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. 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
We present the case of a 43-year-old woman with complete esophageal and gastric stenosis after caustic ingestion. Following initial emergency surgery for gastric perforation, she remained dependent on a jejunostomy for over a year, developing severe malnutrition, dysphagia, and psychological decline. Definitive reconstruction was achieved with a one-stage subtotal esophagectomy and total gastrectomy. A right colon interposition graft, routed through the posterior mediastinum, was used after confirming adequate perfusion despite the absence of the right colic artery. The procedure included a cervical esophago-colonic anastomosis, Roux-en-Y colojejunal anastomosis, ileotransverse bypass, and incidental cholecystectomy and appendectomy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with the patient resuming soft oral intake, gaining weight, and showing marked nutritional and functional improvement. This case underscores the value of right colon interposition when the stomach is unavailable, highlighting the need for tailored conduit choice, precise vascular assessment, and multidisciplinary perioperative care in complex benign esophageal disease.
