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

introductionGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is the term used to describe rare stromal neoplasms that are located in the gastrointestinal tract, it most commonly arises in the stomach. GIST is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally by Computed Tomography (CT) or Endoscopy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a case of incidental finding of GIST during Sleeve gastrectomy in a 56 year-old female that presented with a complaint of sever obesity and articular pain in lower limbs. The tumor was not compromising the performance of a save vertical gastric resection, so the resection was done and a mass specimen was sent for pathological examination that confirmed Gist with a low grade of malignancy. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionAs a conclusion, we recommend keeping in mind incidental finding of GIST during abdominal surgeries and especially Sleeve gastrectomy, in order to detect this tumor as earlier as possible and have a good prognosis with a low chance for recurrence.
