Strategy for esophageal non-epithelial tumors based on a retrospective analysis of a single facility.
Article in Esophagus : official journal of the Japan Esophageal Society, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAlthough most esophageal non-epithelial tumors are benign tumors, such as leiomyomas, they also include gastrointestinal tumors (GISTs); thus, a histopathological diagnosis is indispensable to determine the optimal treatment strategy. However, no consensus has been reached as to the diagnostic methods and treatments for esophageal non-epithelial tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the diagnostic methods and treatments for esophageal non-epithelial tumors in our hospital.
methodsAll 28 cases of esophageal non-epithelial tumors at Kobe University Hospital from 2008 to 2016 were analyzed retrospectively with respect to the diagnostic methods, histopathological diagnosis, and treatments.
resultsThree diagnostic methods, endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), endoscopic incisional biopsy, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)/endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), were performed in our hospital. All GIST cases could be correctly diagnosed by EUS-FNA. Tumors less than approximately 20 mm in diameter and located in the superficial layer are good indications for ESD/EMR, which both play roles in diagnosis and treatment. The final diagnoses by these methods consisted of the following: 13 leiomyomas, 5 GISTs, 3 schwannomas, 2 liposarcomas, 3 cysts, 1 reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, and 1 granulosa cell tumor. Fifteen cases underwent surgery. Enucleation or partial resection was performed for leiomyomas, schwannomas and liposarcomas, while esophagectomy was performed for GISTs. Thus, sufficient management of non-epithelial tumors is achieved.
conclusionsImproved endoscopic procedures, including EUS-FNA and ESD/EMR, enabled the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of esophageal non-epithelial tumors.
