A Case Report of Rare Synchronous Esophageal Malignancies With Dissimilar Histology: Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Small Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The presence of synchronous primary malignancies is a rare phenomenon reported in the literature. Most synchronous malignancies reported include carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract, head and neck cancers, thyroid and breast cancers. Among the neuroendocrine tumors, carcinoid tumors in the duodenum or the esophagus are most commonly reported with other primary malignancies. We report the case of a 56-year-old male with tobacco use disorder, presenting with dysphagia and weight loss for six months, who was thought to have multicentric squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. In actuality, he was diagnosed with synchronous metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) favoring small cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. The patient responded well to minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy with regional lymphadenectomy followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We have not been able to find a literature referencing the presence of synchronous small cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, making our case unique.
