Endoscopic submucosal dissection for synchronous early hypopharyngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a case report with 24-month follow-up.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2026. 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
Introduction and importance: Hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HC) is a relatively rare malignancy, with an incidence of approximately 0.7 per 100 000 individuals. The early detection rate of hypopharyngeal carcinoma is low, ranging from 4% to 13%. Synchronous early detection of esophageal cancer (EC) and hypopharyngeal carcinoma occurs in approximately 15% of cases. Gastrointestinal endoscopy with image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) using narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a valuable tool for synchronous early detection of hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective method for endoscopic resection. Presentation of case: We reported the case of a 46-year-old Vietnamese male diagnosed with synchronous early-stage left pyriform sinus cancer and EC diagnosed using gastrointestinal endoscopy with image-enhanced endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (IEE-NBI). Both lesions were successfully resected en bloc using ESD. After 24 months of follow-up, there were no new lesions or metastases from the tumor. Clinical discussion: This case highlights the application of NBI classification according to intrapapillary capillary loops morphology under IEE-NBI endoscopy for the diagnosis of synchronous early HC and EC and the prediction of the invasion depth based on microvessel morphology. Conclusion: Gastroenterologists should be vigilant in observing the pharynx with IEE-NBI for patients with EC to facilitate early detection of HC, and vice versa.
