Update of latest data for combined therapy for esophageal cancer using radiotherapy and immunotherapy: A focus on efficacy, safety, and biomarkers.
Article in Chinese journal of cancer research = Chung-kuo yen cheng yen chiu, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Esophageal cancer usually has a poor prognosis. Given the significant breakthrough with tumor immunotherapy, an increasing number of clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination of radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) may have a synergistic effect and good outcome in esophageal cancer. Clinical studies of immunoradiotherapy (iRT) for esophageal cancer have proliferated enormously from 2021 to the present. However, a summary of the efficacy and toxicity of combined therapy to guide esophageal cancer treatment in clinical practice is lacking. For this review, we integrate the latest data to analyze and assess the efficacy and safety of iRT for esophageal cancer. In addition, we discuss better predictive biomarkers, therapeutic options for specific populations, and other challenges to identify directions for future research design.
