1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Gastric conduit reconstruction is the standard choice after esophagectomy. Conduit's vascular supply is of primary importance mainly based on right gastroepiploic vessels. A 57-year-old male with absent right gastroepiploic artery, due to a duodenal bleeding ulcer treated with gastroduodenal artery ligation 10 years ago, was treated for gastroesophageal cancer and required esophagectomy. Surgical merits of this troublesome scenario are highlighted. Previous surgical history is highly important for patients requiring complex surgery as esophagectomy. The use of the stomach as conduit after esophagectomy is always the primary option; however vascular supply of it should not be compromised. Variations are rare and careful planning may overcome obstacles as in this case.
