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
Objective: This study aimed to compare multidimensional long-term outcomes between children who underwent colonic pedicled flap surgery versus gastric tube esophageal replacement in the mediastinum after caustic injuries. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in patients who were operated on during their childhood between 1989 and 2022. Patients completed a comprehensive assessment using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Gastrointestinal Symptoms Scale (PedsQL GI), KIDSCREEN-52 for psychosocial dimensions, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) scale and the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Results: A total of 26 patients (aged 6-22 years with mean 14 years) were included. Among these, 17 had a colonic pedicled flap and 9 had a gastric tube. Mean operation-to-questionnaire interval was 8 years. No significant differences were observed between groups in PedsQL GI, SF-36 or 6MWT outcomes. Mean PedsQL GI scores indicated mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal symptoms, with lower score in trouble swallowing and heartburn and reflux. Significant psychosocial disparities emerged in KIDSCREEN-52 with higher scores in psychological well-being ( Conclusion: Both colonic and gastric esophageal replacements provide satisfactory long-term outcomes and quality of life after pediatric caustic injury. Although gastrointestinal and functional results were comparable, psychosocial quality of life domains showed differences. Persistent dietary adaptations underline the necessity for tailored, multidisciplinary and culturally sensitive follow-up.
