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

backgroundBarrett's esophagus with high grade dysplasia (HGD) may require surgical resection because of the risk of concomitant adenocarcinoma. The prevalence of invasive, occult carcinoma (≥stage 1B) in this setting has varied. We investigated the association of adenocarcinoma at operative resection for high grade dysplasia.

methodsUsing an electronic medical record, we identified patients who underwent esophagectomy for high grade dysplasia at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center between 1993 and 2007. Preoperative diagnosis was confirmed by reviewing endoscopic, radiologic and pathology reports. Postoperative pathology reports were compared to the preoperative diagnosis.

results68 patients (12 females and 56 males) with a preoperative diagnosis of high grade dysplasia underwent operative resection. The mean age was 64 years (range 36 to 86 years). Of 68 patients, 12 (17.6%) had adenocarcinoma, 2 (2.9%) were downgraded to low grade dysplasia, and 54 (79.4%) were confirmed as HGD. Of the 12 patients with adenocarcinoma, 4 (5.9% of total cohort) had intramucosal cancer (Stage 1A) and 8 (11.7% of total cohort) had invasive cancer with submucosal invasion or more advanced disease. Of the 8 patients with invasive adenocarcinoma, 4 did not have preoperative endoscopic or radiologic testing suggestive of advanced disease.

conclusionThe overall prevalence of adenocarcinoma in association with a preoperative diagnosis of HGD was 17.6%. Invasive adenocarcinoma was present in 11.7% of subjects and was clinically occult in 5.9%.
