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

Sexual dimorphism in the incidence of human esophageal cancer, including both esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, shows male dominancy. However, the mechanisms that underlie sexual dimorphism of esophageal cancer have been understudied in vivo due to the lack of sex-dimorphic mouse models. Here, we developed a sex-dimorphic mouse model of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using a lower amount of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) and a shorter latency of tumorigenesis compared to the traditional carcinogenesis procedures. In this model, we found that male mice were highly sensitive to the tumorigenesis of ESCC whereas female mice were resistant to it. This model provided us an opportunity for investigating the mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism of ESCC in vivo and for better understanding the sex-dimorphic incidence of ESCC in humans.
