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

A 78-year-old woman was admitted for examination and treatment of melena. Although upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and abdominal computed tomography showed no bleeding lesions, oral double-balloon endoscopy revealed a long, slender polyp covered with normal mucosa and accompanied with erosions in the proximal jejunum. Surgical resection was successful. Histopathologically, the polyp was 125 mm in length and composed of edematous mucosa with dilated blood vessels. The growth was diagnosed as a rare enteric muco-submucosal elongated polyp. Her melena improved postoperatively.
