A case of inflammatory fibroid polyp of the stomach with an "erect penis like appearance" successfully removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 37-year-old woman was diagnosed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) as having a 15-mm subepithelial lesion (SEL) in the gastric body. For 2 years, she experienced epigastric pain and anemia; she then underwent emergency EGD, which revealed a significant morphological change of the lesion. The SEL had a disintegrated tip and its submucosal portion was substantially exposed out of the mucosa, showing an "erect penis like appearance". Based on the pathological findings of biopsied samples from the exposed portion and the endoscopic features, an inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) was suspected. This lesion was considered responsible for the anemia and was removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The pathological findings confirmed the lesion to be IFP. This report presents a case of gastric IFP that showed a marked morphological change and unique endoscopic features and was successfully removed by ESD.
