Perioperative Clinical Results of Transcervical and Transhiatal Esophagectomy versus Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy in Patients with Esophageal Carcinoma: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study.

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
Background: This study assessed the efficacy of transcervical and transhiatal esophagectomy versus thoracoscopic esophagectomy in patients with esophageal carcinoma (EC). Methods: A total of 80 patients with EC were enrolled in this study, including 40 cases in the observation group that received transcervical combine transhiatal esophagectomy and the rest 40 cases of the group that underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were analyzed between the two surgeries, regarding perioperative bleeding, the total number of dissected mediastinal lymph nodes, operative time, number of lymph nodes in the left para-recurrent laryngeal nerve (para-RLN) or the right para-RLN, time in the intensive care unit (ICU), postoperative pain score, the length of postoperative stay (LOPS), PO Results: The operations were successfully performed in all 80 patients. The results showed that patients who underwent transcervical and transhiatal esophagectomy had shorter operations than those with transthoracic esophagectomy (200 minutes vs 235 minutes, Kruskal-Wallis test [ Conclusion: The transcervical and transhiatal esophagectomy is a good operation for treating patients with EC, which may offer an opportunity to treat cases who cannot have thoracotomy.
