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

CONTEXT.—: The 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification of digestive system tumors discusses several advancements and developments in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of several digestive tract tumors. OBJECTIVE.—: To provide a summary of the updates with a focus on neuroendocrine neoplasms, appendiceal tumors, and the molecular advances in tumors of the digestive system. DATA SOURCES.—: English literature and personal experiences. CONCLUSIONS.—: Some of the particularly important updates in the 5th edition are the alterations made in the classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms, understanding of pathogenesis of appendiceal tumors and their precursor lesions, and the expanded role of molecular pathology in establishing an accurate diagnosis or predicting prognosis and response to treatment.
