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

backgroundGastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (GSTs), incidentally detected during upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, may be lesions derived from the GI wall or may be caused by compression from external organs. In general, traumatic neuroma is a benign nerve tumor that results from postoperative nerve injury, occurring in the bile duct as one of the complications after cholecystectomy. This is the first case report demonstrating that neuroma of the cystic duct can be incorrectly perceived as a duodenal subepithelial tumor by compressing the duodenal wall. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 72-year-old man with traumatic neuroma of the cystic duct after cholecystectomy. This tumor was mistaken for a duodenal subepithelial tumor on preoperative upper GI endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography due to external compression of the GI wall. The patient had no symptoms, and his laboratory test results were normal. However, in a series of follow-up endoscopies, the tumor was found to have grown in size, so it was surgically resected. The lesion was completely removed by laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 without complications.

conclusionTraumatic neuroma of the cystic duct can be mistaken for GSTs in GI endoscopy.
