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

objectiveThis study aimed to characterize the computed tomographic (CT) features of gastric schwannoma (GS).

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed CT images of 19 cases of histologically proven GS between January 2010 and December 2015. Tumor location, size, contour, margin, growth pattern, and degree and pattern of enhancement, perigastric lymph nodes, ulceration, necrosis, and calcification were evaluated.

resultsGS was located in the gastric body (73.7%), gastric antrum (15.8%), and gastric fundus (10.5%), with a mean maximum diameter of 4.5 ± 1.8 cm. All tumors presented as oval, well-defined solid masses, with exophytic (36.8%), endoluminal (15.8%), or mixed (47.4%) growth patterns. Ulcers (57.9%) and perigastric lymph nodes (47.4%) were observed. Moderate enhancement (87.5%) was observed in the portal phase. Eighteen (94.7%) cases showed homogeneous enhancement.

conclusionsGS typically presents as a mass in the stomach with an exophytic or mixed growth pattern, moderate homogeneous enhancement, and is prone to be accompanied by perigastric lymph node inflammatory reactive swelling. Larger GSs are more likely to be associated with ulcers.
