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

56 year old gentleman was evaluated for dysphagia and diagnosed with oesophageal adenocarcinoma and had undergone Transhiatal Oesophagectomy elsewhere, pT3N0, but had defaulted adjuvant treatment. He presented 15 months later to us with nodule at left intercostal drain (ICD) drain site. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan showed it to be single site metastasis and he underwent wide excision, followed by six cycles of chemotherapy. He is symptom free and on regular follow up for a period of ten months. Oesophageal cancer although with poor prognosis can be considered for metastatectomy after considering the disease free interval, site of recurrence and histological factors in carefully selected patient.
