Clinicopathological characteristics of synchronous multiple primary early esophageal cancer and risk factors for multiple lesions.

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: With the development of endoscopic technology, the detection rate of synchronous multiple primary early esophageal cancer (SMPEEC) is increasing; however, the risk factors remain unclear. We aimed to assess the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with SMPEEC and investigate the risk factors contributing to the development of multiple lesions. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 911 consecutive patients who underwent Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for primary esophageal neoplasms from January 2013 to June 2021. The patients were divided into the SMPEEC group and the solitary early esophageal cancer (SEEC) group. We compared the differences in clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups and investigated the risk factors linked to multiple lesions. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between the main and accessory lesions. Results: A total of 87 SMPEEC patients were included in this study, and the frequency of synchronous multiple lesions was 9.55% in patients with early esophageal cancer. The lesions in the SMPEEC group were mainly located in the lower segment of the esophagus (46[52.9%]), whereas those in the SEEC group were in the middle segment (412[50.0%]). The pathology type, tumor location, and circumferential rate of lesions were independent risk factors( Conclusion: Pathology type, tumor location, and circumferential rate of lesions were identified as independent risk factors for SMEPPC. Understanding these risk factors and the correlation between the main and accessory lesions could significantly improve the detection rate of SMPEEC.
