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

Esophageal cancer is the ninth most common cancer all over the world and is sixth in the list of cancer-related mortality. Here in this report, we present an elderly male with solitary subcutaneous metastasis to right thigh 2 years following esophagectomy for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Operative notes revealed inadequate margins on frozen section analysis during initial resection, which were subsequently revised. Postoperative histopathology showed ypT3N0M0 Grade 3 mucin-secreting adenocarcinoma. A wedge biopsy from the thigh growth revealed metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) was done, which showed a higher tracer uptake in the ulcero-proliferative lesion arising from the subcutaneous plane in the right thigh with no evidence of any other metastasis or recurrence at the primary site. As the reported incidence of distant unexpected metastases is growing, careful physical examination with a preoperative PET-CT is indispensable. Further knowledge on options on treatment of such isolated cutaneous metastasis needs to be studied by the scientific community.
