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

Primary small bowel tumors are uncommon and usually carry a poor prognosis. Adenocarcinoma is the predominant histological type while lymphoma is far less common. Small bowel diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can mimic adenocarcinoma; thus, the distinction can be challenging before tissue examination is performed. Bowel obstruction, as well as peritoneal involvement, are often seen in gastrointestinal (GI) adenocarcinoma cases; however, these features are extremely uncommon with GI lymphomas. Herein, the authors report an unusual case of an obstructing duodenal mass with peritoneal involvement, which was highly suspicious for an advanced duodenal adenocarcinoma. Surprisingly, sampling of the tumor revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
