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 carcinomas have multidirectional differentiation abilities and different histological components have been reported. Herein, we report a case of esophageal carcinoma with four different differentiations. A 64-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of an esophageal tumor detected during an esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which revealed an elevated lesion accompanied by a slightly depressed lesion in the middle of the esophagus. Examination of the biopsy specimen obtained from the elevated lesion revealed an adenocarcinoma, while that from the depressed lesion revealed a squamous cell carcinoma. Fluorodeoxyglucose-position emission tomography and enhanced computed tomography showed an esophageal carcinoma in the middle of the esophagus with no signs of metastasis. The preoperative diagnosis was adenosquamous cell carcinoma classified as T2N0M0 according to the TNM classification (seventh edition). Thoracoscopic esophagectomy was performed. Examination of the resected specimen revealed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with neuroendocrine, basaloid, and ciliated glandular differentiation. Although they may be totipotent, an esophageal carcinoma consisting of four components is extremely rare. Moreover, ciliated glandular differentiation is rarely observed in the esophagus, except in individuals with bronchial esophageal duplication cysts and adenocarcinoma arises from a Barrett's esophagus.
