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

Esophageal epidermoid metaplasia (EEM) is a rare condition characterized by well-demarcated leukoplakia affecting the middle-to-distal esophagus. EEM commonly presents in middle-aged females with dysphagia and gastroesophageal reflux. EEM is thought to be associated with high-grade squamous dysplasia and squamous cell carcinoma. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with EEM after en bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection in a lesion initially reported as squamous dysplasia. The patient was initiated on a PPI with a 6-month follow-up showing no areas of squamous dysplasia or recurrent EEM with normal squamous mucosa on biopsy. The patient was symptom-free at 1-year follow-up.
