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

A de novo whitish subepithelial lesion (SEL) with irregular vascular hyperplasia was detected in the lower thoracic esophagus during endoscopic surveillance. Special types of esophageal cancer were suspected; however, endoscopic biopsy specimens were inadequate for a diagnosis. Ten days later, endoscopic ultrasound showed a 7-mm homogeneously hypoechoic round mass in the submucosa, and a biopsy confirmed a histological diagnosis of esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma (eNEC). Based on the clinical diagnosis of cT2N0M0, subtotal esophagectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy was performed immediately after endoscopic reexamination revealing a 20-mm reddish SEL. We herein report the marked changes in endoscopic findings of eNEC within 1.5 months.
