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

Esophageal leak is a well-described complication of endoscopic peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). Although various endoscopic techniques exist for managing mucosal defects, their efficacy is not universal, and successful closure is not guaranteed. The endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT, EndoVAC) has been implemented in the management of mucosal defects. We hereby present a 46-year-old man who developed a persistent esophageal leak after POEM, which was successfully managed with the EndoVAC following multiple unsuccessful closure attempts using conventional methods.
