Three resected cases of esophageal carcinoma considered as being secondary solid tumors after bone marrow transplantation.

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
backgroundBone marrow transplantation is now an established treatment for some hematopoietic disorders and hematopoietic malignancies, and secondary solid tumors that develop after bone marrow transplantation have begun to attract attention. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report 3 cases of esophageal carcinoma that developed after bone marrow transplantation. Case 1: 40-year-old female received cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation at 12 Gy for acute myeloid leukemia, followed by related bone marrow transplantation. She developed chronic graft-versus-host disease manifesting as pulmonary complications and was administered cyclosporine. Nine years after the transplantation, she was diagnosed as having esophageal carcinoma Stage II and underwent radical surgery. She died of the primary disease 17 months after the surgery. Case 2: A 45-year-old male patient received cyclophosphamide, VP-16 and total body irradiation at 13.2 Gy for acute lymphocytic leukemia, followed by related bone marrow transplantation. He developed chronic graft-versus-host disease manifesting as liver dysfunction. Fifteen years after the transplantation, he was diagnosed as having esophageal carcinoma Stage II and underwent radical surgery. Seven months after the surgery, he died of the primary disease. Case 3: A 30-year-old female patient received cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation at 3 Gy for Fanconi anemia, followed by unrelated bone marrow transplantation. She developed chronic graft-versus-host disease manifesting as a rash and was administered tacrolimus and methotrexate. Fifteen years after the transplantation, she was diagnosed as having esophageal carcinoma Stage III and underwent radical surgery. She died of sepsis 7 months after the surgery.
conclusionThe esophageal carcinomas developing after bone marrow transplantation had the characteristics of secondary solid tumors in all 3 patients, such as early onset, after total body irradiation, association with chronic graft-versus-host disease, and history of use of immunosuppressive drugs. Patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation require long-term follow-up after the transplantation, considering the possible development of secondary solid tumors, and in regard to secondary solid tumors developing in the gastrointestinal tract, it must be borne in mind that the risk of esophageal carcinoma is particularly high.
