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
objectiveIt remains unclear whether primary tumor resection improves survival in patients with metastatic Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). Therefore, our study attempted to investigate the prognostic value of primary tumor resection on metastatic AEG.
methodsIn total, 4200 patients diagnosed with metastatic AEG were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015. Patients were categorized into two groups according to the performance of primary tumor resection. Pearson's chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and Cox regression analysis were conducted in this study. In addition, propensity-score matching was conducted to match 323 patients who received primary tumor resection and another 323 patients without.
resultsMultivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that primary tumor resection was a significant prognostic factor in patients with metastatic AEG before matching. Moreover, in the matched cohort, metastatic AEG patients receiving primary tumor resection had significantly longer overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]: .54, 95% confidence interval [CI]: .46-.64,
conclusionThe present population-based study identified that primary tumor resection led to significantly superior survival in patients with metastatic AEG. These findings are likely to contribute to the development of individualized therapy in metastatic AEG.
