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 tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumour of gastro-intestinal tract. Annual incidence of GIST in United States is approximately 3000-4000. Clinical presentation of GIST varies with location and size of tumour but GIST presenting with palpable abdominal mass is rare. We report a case of 38 years old male who presented with large abdominal lump. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a large solid-cystic lesion encasing second part of duodenum and distal common bile duct. On CT differential diagnosis of Leiomyoma, Leiomyosarcoma and GIST were made. The diagnosis of GIST was confirmed by immune-histochemical study of the biopsy material. Patient underwent pancreaticodudenectomy. Post-operative course was uneventful. Patient was started on Imatinib therapy post-operatively. No recurrence noted at six months follow up.
