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

Superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is generally considered a subtype of less invasive ESCC. Yet a subset of these superficial ESCC would have metastasis after esophagostomy or endoscopic resection and lead to poor prognosis. The objective of this study is to determine biomarkers that can identify such subset of superficial ESCC that would have metastasis after surgery using genome wide copy number alteration (CNA) analyses. The CNAs of 38 cases of superficial ESCCs originated from radical surgery, including 19 without metastasis and 19 with metastasis within 5 years' post-surgery, were analyzed using Affymetrix OncoScan™ FFPE Assay. A 39-gene signature was identified which characterized the subset of superficial ESCC with high risk of metastasis after surgery. In addition, recurrent CNAs of superficial ESCC were also investigated in the study. Amplification of 11q13.3 (FGF4) and deletion of 9p21.3 (CDKN2A) were found to be recurrent in all 38 superficial ESCCs analyzed. Notably amplifications of 3p26.33 (SOX2OT), 8q24.21 (MYC), 14q21.1 (FOXA1) and deletion of 3p12.1 (GBE1) were only found to be recurrent in metastaic superficial ESCCs. In conclusion, using CNAs analyses, we identify a 39-gene signature which characterizes the high risk metastatic superficial ESCCs and discover several recurrent CNAs that might be the driver alterations in metastasis among superficial ESCCs.
