Effects of improving outcomes after esophagectomy on the short- and long-term: a review of literature.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07713888 (The Effects of Multimodal Prehabilitation on Post-operative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer in Taiwan), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
An esophagectomy is still correlated with a high morbidity rate, despite advances made in minimally invasive surgery, enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and centralization of this type of surgery. The short-term benefits are clearly described for esophageal cancer surgery patients, however, the long-term effects are yet to be determined. In colorectal cancer, the association between complications, especially anastomotic leakage, shows detrimental effects on long-term survival and cancer recurrence. In esophageal cancer surgery, current evidence is scarce and the described results are conflicting. Optimization of perioperative care by introduction of minimally invasive surgery, ERAS programs and patient prehabilitation is promising and shows a clear effect on short-term outcomes. Potentially, this may also result in better outcomes on the long-term, although current evidence is insufficient to infer definite conclusions. Reduction of anastomotic leakage seems important to reduce risk of cancer recurrence and improve long-term outcome.
