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

objectiveTo study the difference in dielectric properties (relative permittivity and electrical conductivity) between normal human esophageal tissues and esophageal cancer tissues resected in esophageal cancer surgery for rapid identification of esophageal cancer during surgery.

methodsAn open- end coaxial probe in the frequency range of 50 MHz to 4 GHz was used for dielectric measurement of the normal tissues and tumor tissues immediately after resection in 51 esophageal cancer cases. The difference in dielectric characteristics of the tissues was analyzed in the full frequency range, and the measurement data at 6 specific frequencies (64, 128, 298, 433, 915, and 2450 MHz) were analyzed statistically. The Cole-Cole model was used for data fitting in the entire frequency band and the measured values were compared with reported values.

resultsIn the frequency range of 50 MHz- 4 GHz, the dielectric measurement values of esophageal cancer tissues were significantly higher than those of normal esophageal tissues. At the 6 specific frequencies, the dielectric properties also differed significantly between normal esophageal tissues and esophageal cancer tissues (

conclusionThere are significant differences in the dielectric properties between normal esophageal tissue and tumor tissue, which may provide a new theoretical basis for rapid identification of esophageal cancer during surgery.
