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

The optimal surgical procedure for Siewert II oesophagogastric junction cancer is still debated. The minimally invasive Ivor Lewis technique can be considered the most adequate intervention from the oncological perspective but it is still contested owing to its technical difficulties. To allow an easier thoracoscopic stage during the procedure, we performed it with laparoscopic trans-hiatal oesophageal transection and transabdominal extraction. An 80-year-old man with stage 3 Siewert II oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma not suitable for neoadjuvant therapy underwent minimally invasive Ivor Lewis oesophagectomy with two-field lymphadenectomy, using a laparoscopic and thoracoscopic approach in prone position. The trans-hiatal oesophageal resection permitted easy extraction of a transabdominal specimen and frozen section examination. The prone position, together with the absence of the specimen in the operative field, allowed easier mediastinal node dissection and oesophagogastric anastomosis with better visualisation. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology showed a G3-pT3, N2 adenocarcinoma with 6/30 metastatic lymph nodes.
