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
Anastomotic leakage is one of the most severe postoperative complications following esophagectomy for esophageal carcinoma. This study compared the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy between a novel oblique-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis and the conventional end-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis. Clinical data from 318 patients with esophageal carcinoma (106 cases treated with the new anastomosis and 212 with the conventional approach) who underwent radical esophagectomy between January 2018 and November 2021 were retrospectively collected. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics, yielding 188 matched patients (94 in each group). The primary outcome was the incidence of anastomotic leakage, while secondary outcomes included anastomotic stenosis, incisional infection, and pulmonary, cardiovascular, and digestive complications. After PSM, the new anastomosis group showed a significantly lower incidence of anastomotic leakage than the conventional group (6.4% vs. 22.3%,
