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

Acrokeratosis paraneoplastica is a rare and obligate paraneoplastic dermatosis most commonly associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract and lung. It has also been linked to adenocarcinomas of the lung, colon, and stomach. However, reports of its association with esophageal adenocarcinoma are exceedingly rare, with only one documented case to date. This condition primarily affects middle-aged White men, with limited cases reported in women. Moreover, its occurrence in the Chinese population is uncommon. We herein present a case of acrokeratosis paraneoplastica in a Chinese woman with primary esophageal adenocarcinoma, along with a review of the relevant literature. To our knowledge, this is the first documented instance of paraneoplastic acrokeratosis associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma in a woman.
