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

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is a rare neoplasm affecting gastrointestinal tract. Duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor originating from the fourth segment is considered an extremely rare disease. Surgical challenges arise when managing locally recurrent hemorrhagic duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor. A 58-year-old male presented with melena for the last 10 days. Thirty months previously, he had segmental resection of the fourth duodenal portion due to hemorrhagic gastrointestinal stromal tumor. No adjuvant imatinib therapy was administered (low risk for recurrence). The latest investigations showed actively bleeding tumor in the distal third portion of the duodenum, indicating a locally recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Uneventful emergent limited resection was performed. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing locally recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumor in the distal duodenal portion. We will explain the therapeutic challenges and risk stratification and discuss gastrointestinal bleeding as a prognostic indicator for gastrointestinal stromal tumor recurrence.
