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

Recent reports by Martincorena et al and Yokoyama et al reveal unanticipated dynamics of somatic evolution in the esophageal epithelium, with clonal expansions apparently driven by mutations in Notch1 dominating the epithelium even in middle-aged individuals, far outpacing the prevalence of these mutations in esophageal cancers. We propose a model whereby the promotion of clonal expansions by mutations such as in Notch1 can limit more malignant somatic evolutionary trajectories until old ages.
