CA199 and CEA expression levels, and minimally invasive postoperative prognosis analysis in esophageal squamous carcinoma patients.

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
Background: This study explores the factors related to the expression levels of carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and their association with poor postoperative prognosis in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent minimally invasive resection. Methods: Eighty patients with ESCC who underwent minimally invasive surgery were divided into two groups: 40 with poor prognosis (recurrence) and 40 with good prognosis (no recurrence). Additionally, 80 healthy subjects were selected as a control group. Serum CA199 and CEA levels were measured before surgery and 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Results: The serum CA199 and CEA levels in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group ( Conclusion: Poor prognosis in ESCC patients after minimally invasive resection may be influenced by factors such as lymph node metastasis, lesion length, and tumor location. Elevated CA199 and CEA levels postoperatively can serve as predictors of poor prognosis in patients with ESCC.
