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

Esophageal cancer (EC) is among the top ten worldwide causes of cancer related morbidity and mortality. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for over 90% of all cases in sub-Saharan Africa [1]. Azygos arch and azygos vein tumor thrombus in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a rarely reported phenomenon. We report a case of tumor thrombus in the azygos vein and arch in a patient with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. To date only a single case of such tumor thrombus in the arch of the azygos vein have been reported which was subsequently managed with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical resection [2].
