Complete Communicating Tubular Oesophageal Duplication in an Adolescent Presenting With Haematemesis and Long-Standing Dysphagia.

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
Complete communicating tubular oesophageal duplication is a rare congenital foregut anomaly that may remain undiagnosed until adolescence because symptoms can be intermittent. A 17-year-old boy with long-standing intermittent solid-food dysphagia presented with moderate haematemesis. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy identified an ulcerated inflammatory stricture 26 cm from the incisors, an accessory orifice, and a diverticulum-like opening. Biopsies showed ulcerative and regenerative changes with glandular and intestinal metaplasia without dysplasia. Barium oesophagography and cervicothoracoabdominal computed tomography demonstrated chronic oesophageal dilatation and an anterior tubular structure running parallel to the thoracic oesophagus, with multiple communications to the native lumen and distal drainage towards the gastric cardia, without a tracheobronchial fistula. Repeat endoscopy with a paediatric gastroscope confirmed an accessory channel lined by oesophageal-type mucosa and draining into the stomach alongside a stenotic native lumen. Complete communicating tubular oesophageal duplication should be considered in patients with long-standing dysphagia and an accessory oesophageal opening. Diagnosis requires complementary endoscopic and radiological assessment, and management should be individualised through multidisciplinary review.
