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
The present study is the first reported case of a patient undergoing esophagectomy with ectopic aortic arch secondary to a large esophageal cancer, which was pre-operatively misdiagnosed with a right-side aortic arch (RAA). The patient, a 54-year-old male, was first admitted to our hospital for esophagectomy owing to esophageal squamous cancer and had complained of progressive dysphasia for 3 months. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass in the middle thoracic esophagus. Furthermore, the three-dimensional CT of the thoracic great arteries showed a possible RAA and a curved descending aorta. After preoperative evaluation, the approach of using a left thoracotomy with cervical anastomosis was successfully performed and favorable short-term outcomes were achieved. According to previous reports, and the experience of the presented case, we emphasize clear recognition of the anatomical situation in the upper mediastinum and the importance of an optimal surgical approach for esophagectomy.
