Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02938195 (Phase II Study of Optimum Design of Neo-adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgery for Squamous Cell Esophageal Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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

Multidisciplinary therapies have been developed to prolong the survival of patients with resectable esophageal cancer. Worldwide, neoadjuvant therapy has become the standard treatment for locally advanced resectable esophageal cancer. In this article, we briefly review the clinical trials and meta-analyses of neoadjuvant therapy for advanced esophageal cancer. In Europe and the USA, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is regarded as the standard treatment, while neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become the standard treatment in Japan based on the results of clinical trials. Changes in treatment, according to the period and the results of up-to-date studies, are discussed. As neoadjuvant therapy is administered with the assumption that surgery will be performed, it is important for surgeons to be familiar with its impact on surgical management. We also review the impact of neoadjuvant therapy on surgical management. Issues such as the timing of surgery after neoadjuvant therapy, the extent of lymph node dissection, and the operative approach in relation to the esophagus are matters to be elucidated in the future.
