Novel Endoscopic Closure of Iatrogenic Hypopharyngeal Perforations Using Through-the-Scope Tissue Approximation Clips.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Hypopharyngeal perforation is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of upper aerodigestive tract instrumentation. Management strategies remain controversial, and data supporting flexible endoscopic closure in this region are limited. We describe 3 cases of iatrogenic hypopharyngeal perforations successfully managed with MANTIS through-the-scope tissue approximation clips as part of a multidisciplinary approach. All defects were closed endoscopically. Two patients achieved complete mucosal healing without surgical intervention. One patient experienced clinical decline related to comorbid illness rather than closure failure. Endoscopic closure using through-the-scope clips may be a feasible option in carefully selected patients when performed early with multidisciplinary collaboration.
