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

Achalasia is a disorder of unknown etiology that disrupts esophageal motility and esophagogastric junction outflow. Many long-term complications are associated with achalasia, including progression to megaesophagus and an increased risk for esophageal cancer. While current guidelines recommend against routine screening for cancer in patients with achalasia, many experts believe that routine endoscopic or radiographic screening at a yet-to-be-determined interval could provide essential data beyond evaluating for cancer. Herein, we present a case of stage IVA esophageal adenocarcinoma diagnosed post-esophagectomy in a patient with end-stage achalasia who underwent irregularly spaced, infrequent endoscopic evaluation.
