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

We report here a case of postoperative recurrent adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) treated with S-1 therapy. A 79-year-old woman was diagnosed with carcinoma of the EGJ. Thoracoscopic subtotal esophagectomy was performed, and pathological examination revealed advanced ASC with lymph node metastasis. Five months after surgery, multiple lung metastases and multiple lymph node metastases were observed, and the patient was treated with S-1 monotherapy, which showed partial response and may be effective for advanced ASC of the EGJ. On the other hand, immunohistological analysis of the tumors showed a relatively wide range of areas that could differentiate into both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting that tumor cells with multidifferentiation potential, or at least the ability to differentiate into both adeno-epithelial and squamous epithelial cells, were the likely source of the tumors.
