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: Traditional McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE-McKeown) with resection of the thoracic and abdominal branches of vagus nerve, the azygos vein and the bronchial artery, is notorious for high complications incidence and sharply decreased quality of life (QoL) postoperatively in esophageal cancer (EC). Recently, reports of preservation of azygos vein arch or the vagus nerve have shown the advantages of decreasing postoperative complication incidence. However, the modified MIE-McKeown with preservation of azygos vein arch, vagus nerve and the bronchial artery has never been investigated in EC. In the present study, we aimed to compare the short-term efficacy and postoperative QoL between modified MIE-McKeown and traditional MIE-McKeown. Methods: A total of 218 eligible patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who met our inclusion criteria between October 2018 and January 2022 in our center were retrospectively enrolled and divided into modified MIE-McKeown group (N=48) and the control group with traditional MIE-McKeown (N=170) according to their surgical procedure. We compared the perioperative parameters (e.g., operation time and postoperative complications) between the two groups. The core quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30) (version 3.0) and the EC-specific QoL assessment form (QLQ-OES18) were used to evaluate the QoL in the 2 groups at 1 and 3 months after operation. Results: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between modified MIE-McKeown group and the control group. Compared with the control group, the modified MIE-McKeown group had significantly lower postoperative drainage volume (551.46±249.45 Conclusions: The modified MIE-McKeown is a safe and efficient procedure and has the potential to improve postoperative health status of patients with EC.
