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

Because of their well known origin in gene mutations and a revolutionary therapy by means of molecular targets, gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) constitute a plentiful and paradigmatic model of translational investigation, resulting in an avalanche of exponential growth data. In this article, we focus on what we consider to be hot spots in GIST at present. A wide spectrum of events is approached, extending from subtle pathogenic mechanisms at a molecular level (gene mutations and their implications for cell receptors with subsequent activation of signalling pathways) to more practical problems facing diagnosis (molecular markers, role of biopsy), prognosis (risk stratification systems) and different therapeutic aspects (laparoscopic surgery, role of surgery in advanced disease, response criteria, adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy, treatment for progressing and recurrent disease, therapy directed on mutation analysis and new developments, among others). The review has been endorsed by level of evidence evaluation through a recognised pattern to assist in teaching, and a final summary of recommendations and a management algorithm are included.
