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

objectivesLifestyle and demographic risk factors for the development of oesophageal adenocarcinoma developing from columnar-lined oesophagus are not well defined.

methodsDemographic and lifestyle factors, endoscopy and histology reports were extracted from 1,761 subjects from seven UK centres. The associations of columnar-lined oesophagus with demographic and lifestyle factors and the development of adenocarcinoma were examined.

results5.5% of patients had prevalent adenocarcinoma (more common in males, older patients, patients diagnosed earlier in the cohort and current or recent smokers). Adenocarcinoma incidence was 23 patients in 3,912 years or 0.59% per annum. Only increased age at diagnosis correlated with an increased risk of incident adenocarcinoma. There was no association with obesity or alcohol history.

conclusionsOesophageal adenocarcinoma occurs more commonly in older patients and is more frequent in males than females. Once columnar-lined oesophagus had been diagnosed, there were no other demographic or lifestyle factors which were predictive of the development of incident adenocarcinoma in this cohort.
