Reflux esophagitis, high-grade neoplasia, and early Barrett's carcinoma-what is the place of the Merendino procedure?
Review in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02855333 (The Merendino Procedure for Benign or Early Malignant Lesions of the Distal Esophagus/Gastroesophageal Junction is Feasible, Safe and Provides Good QoL), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
introductionBecause of the increasing frequency of Barrett's cancer in Western industrialized countries, the management of reflux disease with the potential development of Barrett's esophagus, neoplasia, and early carcinoma is very important. In case of established Barrett's esophagus, the malignant degeneration of the specialized epithelium cannot definitely be prevented by antireflux surgery or continuous medication. Mucosal adenocarcinomas nearly never develop lymph node metastasis and can mostly be treated by endoscopic mucosectomy. The deeper the submucosa is infiltrated, the higher is the rate of lymph node metastasis which is, on the average, 30% for submucosal carcinoma.
conclusionsTherefore, radical subtotal esophagectomy is the treatment of choice for submucosal carcinoma, whereas distal esophageal resection with limited lymph node dissection is only indicated in mucosal carcinoma which cannot be completely removed by interventional endoscopy.
