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

Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS) is a rare condition characterised by the triad of iron deficiency anaemia, dysphagia, and oesophageal webs. While dysphagia is a recognised feature, complications such as aspiration are infrequently reported. We describe a 60-year-old woman with a history of Crohn's disease who presented with aspiration pneumonia in the context of previously undiagnosed PVS. This case demonstrates aspiration pneumonia as a potential and under-recognised complication of proximal oesophageal webs and highlights the importance of early investigation of dysphagia in patients with iron deficiency.
