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

Introduction: There have been a limited number of studies conducted to determine the pattern of relapse and survival in patients after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery for esophageal cancer. Aim: To evaluate the survival and recurrence patterns in esophageal cancer patients with a pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Material and methods: This retrospective study was performed on 159 esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. A checklist of demographic and clinicopathological variables was filled. Then, survival and recurrence patterns in esophageal cancer patients with complete and near complete pathologic responses to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy were evaluated. Results: Among 159 of 1117 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 147 patients had a complete pathological response and 12 had a near complete pathological response. In this study variables included age, type of tumor and tumor distance from the incisors, which showed no significant difference, and among them, only sex and addiction were associated with the results. The overall survival and 1 year and 3 years disease-free survival were 59.1 ±2.5%, 89.4 ±2.7%, 62.8 ±5.7% respectively. Conclusions: Almost all patients with complete pathological responses had well-differentiated cells and those with near complete responses had moderately differentiated cells; the most common type of recurrence was observed in the systemic type of disease and the most common sites were the lungs and liver. Women and people with no history of addiction showed better responses to treatment and had higher levels of survival.
