Dysphagia Lusoria in Childhood: An Uncommon Cause of Swallowing Difficulty.
Article in Cureus, 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
Dysphagia lusoria is a rare cause of esophageal compression, typically resulting from an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA). ARSA is the most frequently occurring anomaly of the aortic arch. Although usually asymptomatic, most patients complain of dysphagia or respiratory symptoms. This case is of a nine-year-old boy with asthma and allergic rhinitis who presented with chronic epigastric pain, vomiting, and progressive dysphagia to solids. His growth parameters were normal but on the lower end of the body mass index (BMI) range. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a pulsatile external compression in the proximal to mid-esophagus. A retro-esophageal ARSA arising distally from the aortic arch is identified on a CT angiography. A multidisciplinary team advised surgical repair, and the patient underwent division and re-implantation of the ARSA. The postoperative course was uneventful, with marked improvement in dysphagia and vomiting. Early recognition and evaluation of dysphagia in children help minimize complications, leading to better outcomes.
