Oesophageal carcinoma: The prevalence of DNA tumour viruses and therapy.
Review in Tumour virus research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Oesophageal carcinoma ranks the sixth leading cause of cancer death and affected 544,000 - 604,000 people in 2020. Patients often presented with a poor cancer prognosis with a low survival rate of 15-25%. Depending upon the cell type, oesophageal carcinoma is categorised into oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). ESCC is predominantly reported in developing countries, while EAC is more common in developed countries. Aside from the presence of exogenous co-factors, such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); infection with oncogenic viruses is suspected to be one of the major factors contributing to EC development. Oncogenic viruses, including human papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) have been detected in various proportions of EC samples. Nonetheless, their aetiological roles in EC remain debatable. In this review, we garnered previous studies that focus on the association between oncogenic viruses and EC. Among these oncogenic viruses, HPV appears to have a stronger association with EC than the others. In addition, we also discuss the pros and cons of the treatment regimens to treat EC patients, including immunotherapy, chemo- and chemoradiotherapy, and their efficacy.
