Comparison of Outcomes Between McKeown and Sweet Esophagectomy in the Elderly Patients for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.
Article in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes and long-term survival rates of the McKeown and Sweet procedures in patients with esophageal cancer younger than 70 years or older than 70 years. A total of 1432 consecutive patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who received surgery at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2009 to October 2012 were analyzed. Propensity score matching was used to balance the clinical characteristics of the patients who underwent different surgical approaches, and 275 and 71 paired cases were matched among those younger and older than 70 years, respectively. The prognosis and postoperative outcomes were compared between the McKeown and the Sweet esophagectomy. For patients younger than 70 years, those who underwent the McKeown procedure had better overall survival (OS) than those in the Sweet group (log rank = 4.467;
