An Unusual Cause of Dysphagia in a 16-Year-Old Girl.
Article in Middle East journal of digestive diseases, 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
This report presents the case of a 16-year-old girl with progressive dysphagia and weight loss over 6 months. Initial examinations, laboratory findings, and upper endoscopy were unremarkable. High-resolution esophageal manometry was suspicious of achalasia, but subsequent imaging revealed the presence of a non-homogeneous mass in the esophageal wall, identified as esophageal leiomyoma through histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. Despite the rarity of this tumor in adolescents, our findings emphasize the importance of considering esophageal leiomyoma in the differential diagnoses of intramural esophageal lesions. The patient was advised of surgical treatment, which she and her family refused. This case underscores the need for accurate tissue diagnosis via endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided biopsies to guide treatment decisions, especially in young patients presenting with significant esophageal symptoms.
