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

rationaleGlomus tumors (GTs) are a rare disorder originating from the glomus of the anastomoses of small arteries, usually occurring in the subungual region of the fingertips or toes and seldom occurring in the stomach. We unintentionally found a case of a gastric glomus tumor (GGT) without any upper abdominal discomfort. The diagnosis of this disease was mainly by immunohistochemistry. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient presented to our hospital with intermittent right abdominal pain for 1 month. Abdominal computed tomography showed a nodular enhancement lesion in the gastric antrum. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with an ileocecal tumor and a gastric stromal tumor.

interventionsSurgical resection of the ileocecal and gastric tumors was performed. OUTCOMES: Pathologic examination of gastric masses revealed GT. The operation was effective, and the patient was discharged from our hospital 7 days after surgery. Upon follow-up at 3 months, the patient was asymptomatic. LESSONS: GTs are submucosal tumors rarely found in the stomach. Surgical resection is a good choice of treatment. The GGT lacked specific clinical and imaging features, and immunohistochemistry was essential in the diagnosis of GGT.
