Keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the distal Esophagus in a young adult woman with celiac disease: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical 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
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) usually affects the upper or middle esophagus and is strongly associated with tobacco and alcohol use. We report a 28-year-old woman with longstanding celiac disease who presented with progressive dysphagia, weight loss, retrosternal pain, and melena. Endoscopy showed a partially obstructing distal esophageal mass; biopsy confirmed moderately differentiated keratinizing ESCC, while duodenal biopsy showed active celiac disease. CT and PET imaging revealed regional lymphadenopathy without distant metastasis. She underwent feeding jejunostomy, nutritional support, and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, but follow-up imaging showed interval disease progression. The patient's young age, squamous cell histology in a distal esophagus, and the absence of conventional risk factors make this an unusual presentation. This case emphasizes the need for high clinical suspicion and early endoscopic evaluation in young patients with celiac disease presenting with alarming symptoms, even in the absence of classic risk factors for esophageal cancer.
