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

aimTo discuss the angiographic features of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and to evaluate their diagnostic role.

methodsTwelve patients with pathologically proved GIST underwent angiography (DSA)1 wk before operation, using Puck and digital subtraction DSA. The origin, size, morphology and angiographic appearance of the lesions were reviewed.

resultsTwo tumors arose from stomach, 8 from jejunum, and 2 from ileum. Seven cases were benign and 5 were malignant. Obviously thickened supplying arteries were detected in 8 tumors, and early-developed veins were found in 3. Two types of angiographic changes of GIST were observed. Four cases had twisted irregular neoplastic vessels with partially coarse and indistinct margins, which were all malignant. Eight cases had ball-like neoplastic vessels with uniform tumor staining, of which 7 were benign and 1 was malignant.

conclusionAngiography facilitates localization and diagnosis of GIST, helps define their size, range and location, and is especially valuable to patients suffering from melena with unknown reasons.
