Risk factors for esophageal iodine-unstained lesions and changing trends among Japanese alcohol-dependent men (2003-2018).
Article in Cancer science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Globally, a decreasing incidence of male esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has been observed in recent decades. We evaluated the determinants of esophageal distinct iodine-unstained lesions (DIULs), high-cancer-risk lesions and ESCC, among 3858 Japanese alcohol-dependent men (40-79 years) who underwent chromoendoscopic screening between 2003 and 2018. The initial screening detected DIULs ≥ 5 mm in 541 patients (dysplasia in 319 and SCC in 129) and multiple DIULs in 640. The detection rates for DIULs and chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), pack-years, and the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) decreased over the course of the study period, while the detection of hiatal hernia and/or columnar-lined esophagus (HH/CLE) and the carriers of inactive heterozygous aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2, rs671) increased. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that an older age, larger number of pack-years, smaller body mass index, larger MCV, presence of a slow-metabolizing alcohol dehydrogenase-1B genotype (rs1229984), presence of an inactive heterozygous ALDH2 genotype, and more advanced degree of CAG increased the odds ratios (ORs) for DIULs, while the 2008-2013 and 2014-2018 screening periods had lower ORs for DIULs than the 2003-2007 screening period. The presence of HH/CLE decreased the OR for multiple DIULs and was associated with a more proximal location of ESCC. In conclusion, the detection of DIULs in an alcohol-dependent population decreased between 2003 and 2018. In addition to reported determinants of ESCC, CAG and HH/CLE were associated with the risk of DIULs. Enigmatically, however, the decline in the detection of DIULs was not adequately explained by these factors and warrants further research.
