Barium Swallow and Computed Tomography Angiographic Diagnosis of Descending Thoracic Aortic Diverticulum in Right-sided Aortic Arch: Rare Cause of Dysphagia.
Article in Annals of African medicine, 2026. 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
abstractDescending thoracic aortic diverticulum associated with right-sided aortic arch is a very rare etiology of dysphagia. This report presents the case of a 42-year-old male who came with worsening dysphagia to solids, where barium swallow revealed smooth posterior esophageal indentation, and computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated Edwards Type I mirror-image branching with a descending aortic diverticulum indenting the esophagus. This case served to emphasise the value of vascular anomalies being considered as a reason for unexplained dysphagia. Barium swallow and CT angiography gave complementary functional and anatomic assessment, facilitating accurate diagnosis and management planning of unusual aortic diverticula.
