Current status and future direction of lymph node dissection in radical surgery for esophageal cancer.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Surgical resection is the main treatment for esophageal cancer. Lymph node dissection is an essential part of radical surgery for esophageal cancer. However, the extent of dissection, numbers of lymph nodes, and sentinel lymph nodes in lymphadenectomy are still under debate. However, a clinical practice consensus has gradually formed despite this dispute.
