Endoscopic and Imaging Predictors of Complete Pathologic Response After Chemoradiation for Esophageal Cancer.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewLocally advanced esophageal cancer is frequently treated preoperatively with chemotherapy and radiation. The degree of response to this preoperative therapy varies in different patients, and a complete pathological response (pCR) has important implications in the management and prognosis of these patients. This is a review of the different modalities currently available to detect pCR and the clinical context of their use. RECENT
findingsWhile research is still ongoing, no single technique has emerged as the modality of choice to reliably predict pCR in all patients. Studies investigating the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of these modalities have had promising results, but no single modality has been firmly validated as the modality if choice. The emergence of functional imaging techniques and the use of biomarkers are newer developments which need further evaluation before adoption in routine clinical practice. While no single technique reliably predicts pCR, a combination of imaging and diagnostic modalities (endoscopic appearance, biopsy, EUS, and PET/CT) may provide a better diagnostic yield rather than any of these modalities taken alone.
