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

The incidence of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma has been gradually increasing in Asia, just like in Western countries a few decades ago. Despite recent advances in next-generation sequencing and multimodal treatments, EGJ adenocarcinoma is still an aggressive malignancy with poor outcomes. Clinically, EGJ adenocarcinoma can be separated into Barrett's adenocarcinoma and cardiac adenocarcinoma, with frequent similarities observed. Barrett's adenocarcinoma is likely to be of gastric origin in terms of its premalignant background, risk factors, and stem cell regulators. Recent comprehensive genomic analyses suggest that immunotherapy may be essential for high-level microsatellite instability (MSI-H)- and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated subtypes, and against the immunosuppressive phenotype in genomically stable (GS) subtypes, in the treatment of EGJ and gastric adenocarcinoma. Although the chromosomal instability (CIN) subtype dominates EGJ adenocarcinoma, there is still a need to investigate the other molecular subtypes and their targets. Because of the distinctive characteristics of tumor location of EGJ adenocarcinoma, we also described the results of a multicenter cohort study of EGJ adenocarcinoma, comparing Siewert type I (distal esophagus), II (cardia of the stomach), and III (subcardia) tumors. We show that type I tumors were frequently accompanied by Barrett's esophagus (78%,
