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

objectiveThis study was performed to investigate the value of computed tomography (CT) in the differentiation of gastric glomus tumors (GGTs) and small gastric stromal tumors (GSTs).

methodsFifty-nine patients with pathologically confirmed GGTs (n = 11) and GSTs (n = 48) from 2006 to 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. All patients' preoperative CT imaging features were analyzed.

resultsThe following features were significantly different between GGTs and small GSTs: location in the antrum, endophytic growth, heterogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase, CT value in the arterial phase of ≥60.7 Hounsfield units (HU), CT value in the portal phase of ≥87.6 HU, degree of enhancement in the arterial phase of ≥29.9 HU, and degree of enhancement in the portal phase of ≥49.0 HU. A model including four randomly selected features among these seven criteria was built to differentiate GGTs from small GSTs with a sensitivity and specificity of 90.9% (10/11) and 100% (48/48), respectively.

conclusionWe identified seven features that are useful for differentiating GGTs from small GSTs. A combination of four of these seven criteria may increase the diagnostic accuracy.
