Laparoscopic Management of Boerhaave Syndrome: Case Series and Narrative Review.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Boerhaave syndrome, or spontaneous rupture of the esophageal wall, is a rare condition that occurs after a violent increase in intraesophageal pressure associated with negative intrathoracic pressure after forceful vomiting or retching. Rupture, usually transmural, often occurs in the distal esophagus and can be complicated by mediastinitis, sepsis, and multiple organ dysfunction. Despite the aid of imaging in diagnosis and rapid management, it is still characterized by a high mortality rate. Surgical and endoscopic approaches are the mainstays of treatment. Case presentation: Here, we describe three cases of Boerhaave's syndrome managed with minimally invasive surgical treatment and provide a brief literature review of the treatment methods for this rare condition. Conclusions: Early diagnosis and prompt management by a multidisciplinary team increase the chances of survival. The laparoscopic approach is beneficial and can successfully treat esophageal tears associated with this syndrome in early or delayed timing.
