Quality control indices for standardized diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer in China (2022 edition).
Article in Journal of the National Cancer Center, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 particularly common in China. With the continuing progress of multi-disciplinary therapy including early screening, minimally invasive techniques, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 5-year survival of EC has been improved in China. However, there are considerable disparities in the diagnosis and treatment quality among different regions. The Esophageal Cancer Expert Committee of the National Cancer Quality Control Center (NCQCC) considers a set of authoritative quality control standards as an opportunity to eliminate the disparities and improve the overall survival and quality of life of EC. To further promote the quality control for standardized diagnosis and treatment of EC, the National Cancer Center commissioned the Esophageal Cancer Quality Control Expert Committee to draft and formulate the Chinese Quality Control Indices for Standardized Diagnosis and Treatment of Esophageal Cancer (2022 edition). The Indices includes 21 items that cover all key areas in the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer, such as medical oncology, radiation oncology, endoscopy, and pathology.
