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

Herein, we report a case of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) that was successfully treated by a laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR) after dissection of the seromuscular layer around the tumor to prevent postoperative deformities and stenosis of the EGJ. Subsequently, the abdominal esophagus was wrapped by the gastric fornix according to Dor's method in order to prevent reflux esophagitis after surgery.A 71-year-old female patient was admitted with a diagnosis of a GIST (23 × 20 × 20 mm) at the EGJ. We performed the abovementioned operation.Gastroduodenal endoscopic examination revealed no deformity or stenosis of the EGJ at 6 months after the operation. The patient has not experienced any reflux symptoms. Tumor recurrence was not noted 26 months after the operation.This procedure is useful in preventing the deformity and stenosis of the EGJ as well as postoperative reflux esophagitis.
