Approaches to resection of recurrent solitary mediastinal lymph nodes after esophagectomy.

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
Esophageal cancer recurrence in solitary mediastinal lymph node that may possibly been left behind in the first surgery differs from other recurrence patterns because it is still local disease and offers the possibility of complete cure through resection, but it is technically difficult. We resected recurrent mediastinal lymph nodes in six cases. A left transthoracic approach was used in three patients. Other approaches were left thoracoabdominal, right open transthoracic and transcervical. R0 resections were achieved in five patients without severe surgical stress or postoperative complications. Overall survival after resection of recurrent lymph nodes was 43 (16-82) months. Approaches to resection of recurrent solitary mediastinal lymph nodes after esophagectomy should be consider to perform curative treatment safely and less invasively.
