Improved prognosis of resected esophageal cancer.

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
Because of the perceived high risk of esophagectomy and the assumed poor long-term results, the role of surgical resection as the mainstay of treatment for localized esophageal cancer is currently being challenged. Early tumors are increasingly approached by endoscopic mucosectomy or mucosal ablation techniques, whereas combined radiochemotherapy without surgery has become the treatment of choice for locally advanced tumors at many institutions. Several recent reports and our experience, however, indicate that surgical resection of esophageal cancer has become a safe procedure and long-term survival rates after surgical resection have improved markedly during the past two decades. A number of factors have been associated with the marked reduction in postoperative mortality and improved long-term survival after surgical resection. They include changes in the epidemiology with an increased rate of adenocarcinoma mostly located distally, patient selection for surgery, improvements in surgical technique and perioperative management, and the use of neoadjuvant treatment protocols. The treatment strategy and extent of the surgical procedure can now be tailored based on histologic tumor type, tumor location, tumor stage, and the general condition of the patient. With an individualized approach, surgical resection of esophageal cancer can predictably offer cure. Surgical resection thus remains the major pillar in the successful treatment of esophageal cancer.
