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 tumors (GISTs) are the most frequent type of mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and most of the time they acquire the mutation of special kinds of genes. GISTs may be familial or inherited and affect several family members of the family or can be sporadic. The risk of GIST is increased in people with mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) genes. In this report, we present a case of a large GIST with extensive cystic and degenerative change in a 76-year-old female patient with a rare Asp842-His845 deletion mutation detected in PDGFRA exon 18, that required subtotal gastrectomy with en bloc resection.
