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 objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term prognosis of T1a-MM/T1b-SM 1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after endoscopic resection (ER) and to validate the follow-up policy for pT1a-MM lymphovascular invasion (LVI)-negative ESCC. In this retrospective single-center analysis, patients who underwent ER for superficial ESCC between April 2002 and June 2021 were identified. The overall survival (OS), metastatic recurrence, and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models for OS, metastatic recurrence, and RFS were used. A total of 104 ESCC patients were eligible for the analysis. Of 104 patients, 81 had pT1a-MM, and 23 had pT1b-SM1. The 5-year OS, RFS, and metastatic recurrence rates of the 56 cases of pT1a-MM LVI-negative ESCC without additional treatment were 0.848 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.687-0.931), 0.817 (95% CI: 0.647-0.911), and 0.061 (95% CI: 0.014-0.240), respectively. Cox regression analysis for OS, RFS, and metastatic recurrence showed that only lymphatic invasion was strongly associated with metastatic recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio, 10.3; 95% CI: 2.01-53.3; P = .005). The proportion of deaths from other diseases was considerably higher (17/104, 16.3%) than that from ESCC (2/104, 1.9%). This may be related to the high complication rate of malignant tumors in other organs (43.3%, 45/104). The prognosis of ER for pT1a-MM and LVI-negative ESCC is good, and the follow-up policy is valid. Malignant tumors in other organs may be a major prognostic factor for superficial ESCC after ER.
