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

Gastrocolic fistula (GSF) is a rare entity that arises mainly from splenic or gastric lymphoma. Gastric and splenic lymphomas can also fistulate with other organs, including the pleura and the colon, but there has been no reported case to best of our knowledge of a fistula involving three different organs. We hereby present the case of a female patient with gastrosplenocolic fistula secondary to non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. We performed an en bloc partial gastrectomy with splenectomy and partial left colon resection with colostomy. GSF can be treated with chemotherapy. However, when the definite diagnosis is unclear or GSF is causing serious complications such as bleeding or active infection, we believe surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
