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

We present a case of a 70-year-old female patient who was initially diagnosed with oral lichen planus at a dental and oral surgery clinic. She underwent an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for further evaluation of her dysphagia. Endoscopic and histopathological examinations revealed that she had superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, coexisting with a background of esophageal lichen planus and esophageal epidermoid metaplasia. She underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection, recovering with minimal stenosis symptoms. Recent reports suggest that esophageal involvement associated with lichen planus is often unrecognized or misdiagnosed. Another esophageal disease with a similar chronic inflammatory background is esophageal epidermoid metaplasia. The coexistence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with esophageal lichen planus and esophageal epidermoid metaplasia have been reported; however, few studies with detailed endoscopic and pathologic findings are available. We present an interesting case of squamous cell carcinoma against a background of esophageal lichen planus and esophageal epidermoid metaplasia, while also considering the carcinogenic processes involved.
