Precision screening for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in China.
Article in Chinese journal of cancer research = Chung-kuo yen cheng yen chiu, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 the predominant subtype of esophageal cancer in China, and this neoplasm is associated with high morbidity and mortality as well as clear geographical heterogeneity. Since primary prevention for ESCC lacks a clear intervention target, secondary prevention, also known as screening and early diagnosis and early treatment, has become the mainstay of ESCC prevention and control in China. ESCC screening in China has been subject to decades of evaluation and practice. However, the ESCC screening strategy currently adopted in China has encountered a developmental bottleneck. In this review, we have summarized studies and significant findings for ESCC screening and proposed advancement of screening strategies as follows: 1) evidence from randomized controlled trials is needed to support the effectiveness and health economic value of endoscopic screening for ESCC; 2) the current traditional screening and surveillance strategies warrant reform, and a risk-prediction-based precision strategy should be established; and 3) a deeper understanding of the value of opportunistic screening in the prevention and control of ESCC in China is called for. Due to the low absolute prevalence of precancerous lesions, substantial investment of resources and nonnegligible risks of invasive screening techniques, precision and individualization should be the main direction of cancer screening programs for the future. We advocate cooperation on the part of Chinese scientists to solve this major China-specific health problem in the next decades.
