Pre-operative chemoradiotherapy with or without induction chemotherapy for operable locally-advanced esophageal cancer.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2023. 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
Background: For patients with operable locally advanced esophageal carcinoma (LA-EC), we hypothesized that pre-operative induction chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy (IC-CRT) would improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) when compared to chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Methods: This was a single institution retrospective cohort study including patients with LA-EC who received preoperative-intent IC-CRT Results: Ninty-five patients were included for analysis (IC-CRT n=59; CRT n=36) and the median follow-up was 37.7 months (IQR: 16.8-56.1). There was no difference in median PFS or OS for IC-CRT or CRT, 22 months (95% CI: 12-59) Conclusions: For patients with LA-EC, preoperative-intent IC-CRT was not associated with improved PFS or OS when compared with CRT.
