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

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the stomach is a rare type of malignant tumor, characterized by distinct cellular morphology. This type of tumor is even more rare in giant size. The present study reports a case of giant sarcomatoid carcinoma, which developed in the distal stomach. A 49-year-old male underwent medical investigation for gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Endoscopic examination, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-CT scan identified a giant neoplasm, which involved the gastric antrum and body, gallbladder and hepatic flexure of the colon. Surgery was performed to excise the tumor, which was ~14×13×8 cm in size. A diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma was made since the tumor was positive for epithelial markers, even within the mesenchymal elements. To the best of our knowledge, only 5 cases of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the stomach have been previously reported, and a tumor that has been able to be resected despite such a large size has never been reported.
