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

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) comprised 0,2% of all GI tumors. They are typically asymptomatic, but can manifest with nonspecific GI symptoms, GI bleeding, or intussusception. The authors report a case of a 55-year-old female patient with hematochezia and a palpable mass on the left lower quadrant. Ultrasound revealed possible intussusception. However, CT scan did not show any signs of lesions or intussusception. On reevaluation, the mass was no longer palpable. The patient had recurrent episodes of hematochezia with need of transfusional support. CT enterography revealed a 20-24 mm jejunoileal lesion. A laparotomy was undertaken with small bowel resection containing the lesion. Histological examination confirmed GIST. GIST presentation as transient intussusception and intermittent GI bleeding is rare. This case report emphasizes the rarity of jejunoileal GIST, its clinical details, diagnostic study, and treatment.
