Primary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the esophagus with metastatic lymph node and gastric cancer.

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
Upper gastrointestinal lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) is a rare disease-especially esophageal LELC (ELELC). Here, we report a surgically treated case of ELELC with gastric carcinoma. The patient was a 68-year-old asymptomatic Japanese man. Endoscopy revealed a submucosal-like protruding tumor located in the anterior wall of the esophagus 31-33 cm from the upper incisors and a slightly ulcerative lesion at the antrum of stomach. Histopathological diagnosis from biopsy of the esophageal lesion revealed a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma; the stomach lesion was found to be well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. CT showed a swollen lymph node along the left recurrent nerve. On the basis of a diagnosis of esophageal and gastric cancer, we performed esophagectomy with three-field lymph node dissection and partial gastrectomy. Histopathology of the resected esophageal tumor revealed solid nests of cancer cells, with substantial infiltration of lymphoid cells into the stroma. There were poorly differentiated cancer cells with large nuclei in the lymph node. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus showed no nuclear signal in the tumor cells. Immunohistochemistry gave a diagnosis of ELELC.
