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

backgroundGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. However, rectal GISTs represent only 5% of this category. We report a case of a rectal GIST treated with local excision after neoadjuvant therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 41-year-old male patient presented with anal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a mass located 5 cm from the anal verge. Histological examination showed a GIST with immunohistochemical positivity for CD117 and CD34. Transanal local excision was performed after neoadjuvant therapy.

conclusionNeoadjuvant immunotherapy for GISTs with unfavorable localization may facilitate local excision and avoid complications of more demanding operations.
