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

We aim to evaluate whether resected lymph nodes (RLNs) numbers have prognostic value in patients with gastroesophageal junction cancers (GEJ, Siewert type II). Patients with gastroesophageal junction cancers were identified from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry between 1988 to 2013. Multivariate Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier method were performed to analyze risk factors for overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival(CSS). A total of 8396 patients who underwent surgeries and had reginal lymph nodes examined were identified. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that more numbers of resected lymph nodes (RLNs) were associated with better survival. The five-year OS rates for 1-20 and 21-90 RLNs were 26.8% and 32.4%, with a median survival time of 62 and 72 months, respectively (
