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

Atrioesophageal Fistula is a rare complication after radiofrequency catheter ablation. In this article, we report a case of atrioesophageal fistula, confirmed by a Chest computed tomography scan and treated by two-stage surgical repair. In addition, we review the case reports about atrioesophageal Fistula in PubMed, with the aim of presenting here our experience and sharing our surgical approach. The methods of treatment and prevention of such complication are also reviewed in this article.
