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

backgroundEsophageal adenosquamous carcinoma (EASC) is a rare disease. The biological behavior and treatment of this malignancy are not well studied.

methodsData from 56 patients with EASC who underwent esophagectomy were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 5028 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The impact of clinicopathological factors on the survival of patients with EASC was analyzed. The survival differences between patients with EASC and ESCC were also compared.

resultsThere were 43 males and 13 females with a mean age of 59.7 ± 1.3 years (range, 39-79 years). Only 1 of the 43 patients who received preoperative esophagoscopic biopsy was diagnosed with EASC. The median survival time for patients with EASC was 32.0 months, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 78.3%, 46.1%, and 29.6%, respectively. Resection margin, pN category, and adjuvant chemotherapy were found to be independent predictors. After 1:1 propensity score matching, the 5-year overall survival rate of 29.6% for patients with EASC was similar to that of 42.5% for patients with ESCC (P = 0.179).

conclusionsEASC is a rare disease and is easily misdiagnosed by esophagoscopic biopsy. The prognosis of EASC was similar to that of ESCC. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may improve the survival of patients with EASC after esophagectomy.
