Primary Esophageal Lymphoma: Clinical Experience in Diagnosis and Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Primary esophageal lymphoma is a rare malignant tumor, which is often misdiagnosed. To improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, we presented one case admitted at our institution and a literature review of primary esophageal lymphoma cases, including the clinical data, features of imaging, endoscopy and pathology, treatment, and prognosis. The symptoms were non-specific. Under endoscopy, most of the lesions were located in the middle and lower segment of the esophagus, behaving as ulcers, polyps, or submucosal masses, always accompanying with esophageal stricture. The diagnosis of primary esophageal lymphoma was highly dependent on pathological and immunohistochemical examination, hence stacked sampling was suggested to improve the positive rate of mucosal biopsy. Combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be the first choice of treatment, surgical and endoscopic resections may be an alternative solution as well. The therapeutic effect and prognosis were slightly better than those of other esophageal malignant tumors.
