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

backgroundThe overall survival (OS) remains unsatisfactory in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after extended esophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to identify the risk factors that contribute to the low survival of patients with pT

methodsPatients with pT

resultsThis study recruited a total of 488 patients, whose follow-up visits were completed at the end of December 2019. The five-year OS, DFS, RFS and LRFS rates were 62.1, 53.1, 58.3 and 65.6%, respectively. Multivariate Cox analysis identified patient age, site of the lesion, small mediastinal lymph nodes in CT imaging (SLNs in CT), dissected lymph nodes (LNs), and stage of esophageal malignancy as independent risk factors for OS of the patients. Of these factors, the site of the lesion, SLNs in CT and stage of the cancer were determined to be independent factors for DFS, RFS and LRFS. Based on all five factors, the recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) score system was developed to stratify the patients into low-, medium- and high-risk groups, which were found to possess significantly different rates of OS, DFS, RFS and LRFS (p < 0.001).

conclusionsSeveral factors were associated with the survival of patients with pT
