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

backgroundIt is common knowledge that esophageal achalasia patients have a high risk of developing esophageal carcinoma. The present study assessed the characteristics of esophageal carcinoma patients following laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery (LHD) for esophageal achalasia.

methodAmong 622 cases which were esophageal achalasia patients and underwent LHD as the primary surgery, we compared the patient background, pathophysiology, symptoms, and surgical outcomes according to whether or not esophageal carcinoma occurred following surgery.

resultsSix cases (0.96%) of postoperative esophageal carcinoma were confirmed. The characteristics of the cases in which esophageal carcinoma occurred were older age, longer disease duration (p = 0.0362 and 0.0028, respectively), decreased sphincter pressure of the lower esophagus, a high rate of sigmoid esophagus, and a long esophagus lateral diameter (p = 0.0214, 0.001, and 0.0416, respectively). Moreover, no differences in surgical outcomes were confirmed and there were no differences in symptoms from before and following surgery.

conclusionThe characteristics of esophageal carcinoma patients with achalasia following laparoscopic myotomy were an older age, longer disease duration, and greater progression of disease pathophysiology.
