Beyond Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a poorly differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with distinct morphologic characteristics. Yet, there are no clearly defined guidelines established for management. BSCC in the esophagus is a very rare entity, with the proportion of esophageal BSCC ranging from 0.068% to 11%. This wide range is thought to be secondary to difficulty making the diagnosis on small biopsy specimens and the lack of a universally defined proportion of BSCC components necessary to make the diagnosis. We present the case of a 57-year-old African American female, who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) after an abnormal barium swallow in the setting of two months history of dysphagia and weight loss and was diagnosed with BSCC of the esophagus on histopathology.
