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

introductionGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common gastrointestinal tract (GIT) tumors of mesenchymal origin. GISTs tend to arise with a higher frequency in the stomach and the small intestine. GISTs that originate from outside of the GIT are defined as extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs). Among them pancreatic EGISTs are very rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 30 years old male patient presented with abdominal pain. Triphasic abdominal computed tomography scan with contrast revealed large well defined mass at the pancreatic tail, about 12×11.6cm. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy was performed. Postoperative pathological examination revealed positive CD 117 and Dog 1 confirming the diagnosis of EGISTs. DISCUSSION: GIST is a rare mesenchymal tumor. EGISTs arising in the pancreas are extremely rare, about, 5% of EGISTs. Its origin remains controversial. Some authors believe that GISTs and EGISTs arise from the common cell origin of interstitial cells of Cajal. Others suggest that EGISTs are at the beginning, mural GISTs with extensive extramural growth, resulting in later on, loss of their connection with the GIT wall.

conclusionWe report a rare case of large pancreatic tail EGIST, which was resected, safely and effectively by laparoscopic approach.
