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

The Zenker diverticulum is a pulsion diverticulum at the pharyngoesophageal junction, traditionally managed surgically. The Zenker peroral endoscopic myotomy offers a minimally invasive alternative, but secure closure of the mucosotomy is essential. We report a 65-year-old woman who developed pneumomediastinum following the Zenker peroral endoscopic myotomy due to proximal clip dehiscence. Initial lavage and endoscopic suturing failed. A subsequent session with argon plasma coagulation and fibrin sealant achieved complete closure, with rapid clinical recovery and resolution of pneumomediastinum. This case highlights fibrin sealant as a salvage adjunct when conventional closure methods are insufficient, and compares it with other closure techniques in terms of technical considerations, durability, and cost.
