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

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare intermediate-grade tumor. We herein report the case of an 81-year-old man with rectal ulceration and abnormal retroperitoneal soft tissue with a high serum level of IgG4. The administration of prednisolone reduced the retroperitoneal lesion; however, the rectal ulceration expanded. Surgical resection was performed. A histopathological examination revealed proliferating spindle cells accompanied by inflammatory cells and plasma cells. Liver metastasis emerged two months after surgical resection, and the histology of the proliferating spindle cells sampled by a fine-needle biopsy was similar to that of the rectal tissue. The patient ultimately died of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor.
