[Multimodal treatment of locally advanced and oligometastatic esophageal cancer].
Review in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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 cancer is one of the most striking examples of the success of multimodal treatment concepts in gastrointestinal oncology. For locally advanced, resectable adenocarcinoma, perioperative chemotherapy with the FLOT regimen has replaced neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy according to CROSS following the ESOPEC trial and represents the current standard, whereas for squamous cell carcinoma neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery remains established. Immunotherapy is expanding the treatment spectrum: adjuvant nivolumab is established for residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CheckMate-577); perioperative durvalumab combined with FLOT improves event-free survival in gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer (MATTERHORN). The SANO trial demonstrated noninferiority of active surveillance versus standard esophagectomy with respect to 2‑year overall survival in clinical complete responders; however, a decision analytical model based on the SANO data published in 2026 suggests potential long-term advantages of standard resection. In oligometastatic disease, FLOT5/RENAISSANCE showed no overall survival benefit for supplementary surgical resection and in this situation patient selection remains the central challenge. Future strategies will concentrate more on biological criteria, with a more precise definition of oligometastatic constellations, integrated immunotherapy and emerging biomarkers such as circulating tumor DNA.
