Esophagectomy for very low body weight: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Esophageal cancer (EC) has been widely concerned because of its high incidence, high mortality and high recurrence rate. However, the traditional surgical treatment of EC has poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. Malnutrition is the most common problem in patients with EC before and after surgery, and it has gradually attracted people's attention because of its important impact on the efficacy, prognosis and treatment of patients with EC. However, EC patients are often accompanied by malnutrition, and their low BMI is often one of the difficulties in the treatment. Here, we report a very low body weight patient with advanced EC treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with surgery. Our case shows that very low body weight caused by malnutrition should not be a contraindication for surgical treatment, and combined treatment for EC remains to be popularized.
