Management of Locally Advanced and Metastatic Esophageal Cancer in the Older Population.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 reviewThis review aims to synthesise the current literature on the management of early-stage and metastatic esophageal cancers, focusing on the older population. In particular, we aim to dissect out the elderly-specific data from the relevant trials and to discuss the issues unique to this population. RECENT
findingsWhile surgery is the curative modality in esophageal malignancies, the CROSS, MAGIC and FLOT trials demonstrate a clear advantage to neoadjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy). These trials, however, included few elderly patients. There is a similar lack of elderly-specific data in the metastatic setting. Esophageal malignancies remain highly lethal with increasing incidence with age. Despite the relative lack of elderly-specific data, the fit older population appear to similarly benefit from multimodal therapy in early-stage and palliative therapy in metastatic disease.
