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

This case report demonstrated the effectiveness of combining chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) in converting initially inoperable esophageal cancer into an operable condition. A 60-year-old male with stage IVB lower third esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (cT3N2M1) experienced significant tumor shrinkage (ypT2N0M0) and a notable metabolic response, which enabled successful surgical removal. This treatment approach highlights the potential of mEHT as a valuable addition to the comprehensive management of esophageal cancer.
