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

purposeEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of shorter dinner-to-bed time and post-dinner walk on ESCC risk.

methodsA matched case-control study with 232 ESCC patients and 286 age- and gender-matched healthy controls enrolled was conducted. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculated odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI).

resultsThe adjusted ORs of ESCC for subjects with shorter dinner-to-bed time (<3 h) were 2.84 (95 % CI 1.64-4.29), relative to those with longer dinner-to-bed time (≥4 h). While post-dinner walk was associated with a decreased ESCC risk (adjusted OR 0.64; 95 % CI 0.41-0.89). What's more, when reflux symptom was added into the multivariate models, risk estimate for shorter dinner-to-bed time still remained statistically significant (p = 0.003), and risk estimate for post-dinner walk changed slightly. In the subgroup analysis stratified by post-dinner walk, subjects with shorter dinner-to-bed time experienced similar risk (adjusted ORs 2.71 vs. 2.82).

conclusionsShorter dinner-to-bed time is a potential risk factor for ESCC and post-dinner walk is a protective factor, providing evidence for the effect of lifestyle factors on ESCC risk.
