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

Cancer of the small bowel (SB) is rare. The most common SB malignancy is neuroendocrine, followed by adenocarcinoma. SB adenocarcinoma with overlapping neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) is very uncommon. The present case report discusses the case of a young African American female who presented with high-grade SB perforation and underwent urgent surgical repair. Histology of the tumor revealed jejunal adenocarcinoma with NED. To the best of our knowledge, this type of tumor has not yet been reported in the jejunum. Referring patients that present with insidious and nonspecific abdominal discomfort for imaging studies that are more sensitive to the SB could potentially identify tumors earlier, prevent the development of emergent gastrointestinal complications and offer a chance for cure. An overview of diagnostic tools for SB evaluation was provided.
