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 cell tumors are rare. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy performed on a 48-year-old woman revealed an elevated esophageal lesion and the presence of long-segment Barrett's esophagus. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a 15 mm homogeneous hypoechoic tumor extending from the lamina propria mucosa to the submucosa. Pathological examination of the biopsy tissue revealed a sheet-like cluster of histiocytoid cells with an abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical examination revealed S-100(+) and CD68(+), thus suggesting the diagnosis of a granular cell tumor. The tumor was resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Pathologically, the background mucosa was Barrett's mucosa. This is the first reported case of an esophageal granular cell tumor in long-segment Barrett's esophagus.
