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

Corrosive esophageal injury in children may rarely lead to complete atresia. No standardized treatment exists for pediatric corrosive esophageal atresia. This case demonstrates a novel minimally invasive approach. A 12-year-old male developed complete esophageal atresia after accidental ingestion of industrial alkali. He underwent combined antegrade-retrograde endoscopic dilation (CARD) with balloon dilation and covered stent placement. Oral feeding resumed by postoperative day two, and at three-month follow-up, he reported normal eating without complications. To our knowledge, this represents the first reported use of CARD for pediatric corrosive esophageal atresia, demonstrating it as a feasible and effective minimally invasive alternative to surgery in selected cases.
