Nomogram for Predicting Occult Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Before Surgery.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: The limitations of preoperative examination result in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) often going undetected preoperatively. This study aimed to develop a clinical tool for identifying patients at high risk for occult locally advanced ESCC; the tool can be supplemented with preoperative examination to improve the reliability of preoperative staging. Materials and Methods: Data of 598 patients who underwent radical resection of ESCC from 2010 to 2017 were analyzed. Logistic multivariate analysis was used to develop a nomogram. The training cohort included patients who underwent surgery during an earlier period ( Results: Logistic multivariate analysis suggested that higher preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen levels (>2.43, odds ratio [OR]: 2.093; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.233-2.554; Conclusion: The nomogram achieved a good preoperative prediction of occult locally advanced ESCC; it can be used to make rational therapeutic choices.
