Molecular changes in the progression of Barrett's oesophagus.
Review in Postgraduate medical journal, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Barrett's oesophagus is a frequent complication of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease predicting oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The majority of Barrett's patients will not develop cancer, so that specific methods of identification of those at risk are required. Recent molecular studies have identified a selection of candidate biomarkers that need validation in prospective studies. They reflect various changes in cell behaviour during neoplastic progression. The ASPECT trial in the UK aims to establish whether chemoprevention with aspirin and a proton pump inhibitor will reduce adenocarcinoma development and mortality in patients with Barrett's oesophagus. It will also validate biomarkers for progression and clinical response and further study disease pathogenesis.
