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

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. GIST occur predominantly in the stomach and less frequently in the extraduodenal small bowel, the colon, and the rectum; rarely, GIST can be found in the esophagus and the duodenum. Due to their biological behavior, the primary treatment goal for localized primary GIST is complete resection, without the need for lymphadenectomy or wide resection margins. Thus, gastric wedge resections and segmental resections of the small bowel are the most common surgical procedures for treating primary GIST. Surgical therapy of extensive primary tumors or of metastatic or recurrent GIST should be integrated into a multimodal therapeutic concept that includes targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as imatinib.
