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

Background: The average movement of esophagus is about 0.15 to 0.4 cm radially and 0.3 to 0.9 cm in the superior-inferior during radiotherapy. Little study has reported giant shift of esophagus during neoadjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Case presentation: Here we presented a case of a 72-year-old male patient diagnosed with advanced lower thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer, clinical T2N2M1, stage IVB (pulmonary metastasis). The esophagus moved about 4.2 cm radially from the right to the left of the aorta after 2 cycles of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Conclusion: All in all, we treated a patient with advanced lower thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer that occurred a dramatic radial escape of about 4.2 cm after 2 cycles of chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
