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

Esophageal bypass surgery is an effective treatment strategy for esophageal cancer with esophago-tracheobronchial fistula. We herein report an esophageal cancer patient with esophago-pulmonary fistula who achieved a long-term survival but died suddenly because of cardiac tamponade. A 70-year-old male patient with esophago-pulmonary fistula due to esophageal tumor invasion underwent definitive chemoradiotherapy as the initial treatment. Esophageal bypass surgery followed by additional chemotherapy was performed, and the patient survived for a long time. Four years and six months later, a small abscess in an esophago-pulmonary fistula was visualized on computed tomography. One month later, he suffered suddenly severe dyspnea and died. An autopsy suggested that the direct cause of death had been cardiac tamponade due to atrio-pericardial fistula. Definitive therapy for esophageal cancer with fistula after esophageal bypass is an effective treatment, but close special attention must be paid to the possibility of irradiation-related late toxicity.
