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

A 42-year-old Japanese woman complained of upper abdominal pain. Endoscopic examination demonstrated an elevated lesion in the body of the stomach, and a biopsy specimen demonstrated proliferation of atypical spindle cells. She underwent partial gastrectomy; the resected tumor measured 3.5 × 2.8 × 1.2 cm in size. Histological examination disclosed the haphazard proliferation of spindle cells in the mucosa mixed with less prominent epithelioglandular component. The spindle cells were positive for cytokeratin, vimentin, EMA and CD99, but not for KIT, DOG1, desmin or S100. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction using paraffin sections amplified a SYT-SSX1 chimera transcript. A diagnosis of synovial sarcoma was made. There has been no sign of recurrence or metastasis for 6 years after the operation. Synovial sarcoma in the stomach is very rare. Since differential diagnosis of synovial sarcoma from carcinosarcoma and mesenchymal tumors is critical for the treatment and prediction of prognosis, accurate diagnosis with molecular analysis is essential.
