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

purposeBasal layer type squamous cell carcinoma (BLSCC) is a unique type of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), characterized by high-grade dysplastic cells occupying the lower half of the epithelium. So far, such special lesions do not seem to attract much attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of esophageal squamous carcinoma lesions with a BLSCC component. MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween January 2011 and January 2018, 96 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma underwent endoscopic submucosal resection in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into BLSCC or typical SCC groups according to the presence or absence of a BLSCC component. The endoscopic findings were compared between the two groups. Furthermore, patients were followed up until October 2018 to compare recurrence rates.

resultsBLSCC components were detected in 32 (33.3%, 32/96) lesions. Among them, 13 (40.62%, 13/32) were BLSCC predominant. The intraepithelial papillary capillary loops of 7 pure BLSCC showed type B1 under narrow-band imaging. Single-factor and multivariate analyses indicated that five or more independently scattered, deep-stained spots in iodine-unstained areas were significantly predictive of the presence of BLSCC components (OR=4.837,

conclusionThe presence of multiple, scattered stained spots in iodine-unstained areas was predictive of BLSCC components. Such lesion should be treated actively and subject to a more rigorous follow-up protocol due to a higher likelihood of late recurrence.
