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 (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. These tumors most commonly occur in the stomach (60%), jejunum and ileum (30%). Metastasis is characteristically the malignant behavior of the GISTs. GISTs most frequently metastasize to the liver and peritoneum, whereas bone and lung metastases are uncommon sites. Here, we described two cases of bone and liver metastases in patients with advanced GISTs. Both of them showed liver metastasis at disease presentation and bone metastasis in early time after the diagnosis. Bone metastases involved the lumber spine and right femur in first patient and L2 vertebral body in the second case. All of the lesions presented a lytic pattern. These cases are presented because of the rare incidence of bone metastasis to femur and vertebral bodies. More attention should be paid to the diagnosis of bone metastases from GISTs in clinical practice despite the shortage of available data on the sensitivity and specificity of bone scintigraphy and PET-CT.
