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

In Japan, esophagectomy after two courses of 5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin is regarded a standard strategy for treating resectable stage II or III esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, 5-fluorouracil plus cisplatin does not benefit cohorts with clinical stage III ESCC, suggesting the requirement for a more effective regimen. We are conducting a single-arm phase II study to assess the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant docetaxel, oxaliplatin plus S-1 (DOS) for treating patients with clinical stage III ESCC. The primary endpoint is the pathological response rate, and the target number is 45 patients. Safety, response rate, R0 resection rate, and survival are secondary endpoints. This trial is registered in the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials as jRCTs041210023. We are conducting a prospective phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three courses of neoadjuvant DOS treatment followed by radical esophagectomy for clinical stage III ESCC.
