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 squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most deadly cancers due to its extremely aggressive nature and poor survival rate. Central to East Asia is one of regions with the highest incidence of ESCC. In these five papers, the international leaders of ESCC in Asia have taken various approaches to ESCC. Lin et al. compared intensity-modulated radiation therapy with three-dimensional stereoscopic radiation therapy with respect to treatment of ESCC. Song et al. demonstrated that (S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin is useful in the ESCC cell lines as well as in vivo using a patients-derived xenograft tumor model in mice. Chen et al. showed Stromal cell-derived factor-1α expression is an independent prognostic predictor of ESCC. Lin et al. showed that the SUV
