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

introductionEsophagectomy in the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is rare, and the anomalous vascular anatomy can complicate lymphadenectomy because of the risk of nerve injury. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 67-year-old man who presented with pharyngeal discomfort. Right pyriform sinus cancer and middle thoracic esophageal cancer were detected. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil for the esophageal cancer, the pyriform sinus cancer disappeared, indicating a complete response. Accordingly, esophagectomy with reconstruction using a gastric conduit was planned, with preservation of the hypopharynx. Because the presence of an ARSA had been recognized preoperatively, cervical lymphadenectomy was first performed via a cervical approach. Esophagectomy was performed thoracoscopically without injury to the nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN).

conclusionsEsophagectomy in a patient with an ARSA was performed while preserving the NRILN by initiating cervical lymphadenectomy before the thoracoscopic procedure.
