Endoscopic resection for gastric schwannoma with long-term outcomes.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundGastric schwannoma is not so recognized by clinicians as its counterparts. The efficacy of endoscopic resection has not been described yet. Our aim was to assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic resection in the management of gastric schwannoma.
methodsRetrospective data were reviewed from January 2008 to December 2013 in our center. Fourteen patients who had endoscopic resection with the final pathology result of gastric schwannoma were included in the study.
resultsOf the 14 patients, there were 12 females and two males. The median age was 59 years (range 32-83). Thirteen tumors (92.9 %) were from the muscularis propria and one located in the submucosa. Endoscopic en bloc resection was achieved in 12 patients (12/14, 85.7 %), including seven cases of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR). The mean resected tumor size was 1.73 ± 1.10 cm (range 0.3-4.0 cm). In one case, endoscopic resection was suspended due to the limited experience of EFTR during the early period of the study. In another case, due to the difficult tumor location (gastric angle) and extraluminal growth pattern, the patient was referred to laparoscopic surgery. In the 12 successful endoscopic resection cases, during the median follow-up time of 4 years (range 17-77 months, one patient lost), no tumor residue, recurrence or metastasis was found.
conclusionsEndoscopic resection is safe and effective in treating gastric schwannoma with excellent long-term outcomes. However, it should be performed with caution because schwannoma is mainly located in the deep muscular layer, which leads to the full-thickness resection of gastric wall.
