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

backgroundAngiosarcoma is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. Its occurrence in the small intestine is low, and gastrointestinal bleeding caused by small intestinal angiosarcoma is unusual. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we report the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with hematochezia for 1 mo. The patient had a medical history of chronic viral hepatitis B for 15 years. The causes of gastrointestinal bleeding were initially diagnosed as esophagogastric variceal bleeding or portal hypertensive gastropathy before endoscopy. However, after a complicated diagnostic and therapeutic process, including gastroendoscopy, colonoscopy, contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT), positron emission computed tomography/CT, capsule endoscopy, and pathological and immunohistochemical examinations, small intestinal angiosarcoma was diagnosed. Arrest of bleeding was achieved after surgical treatment. Furthermore, the patient had lung cancer with bone and adrenal metastases. At the follow-up 10 mo after the operation, the patient was alive.

conclusionGastroenterologists should maintain strong vigilance to small intestinal angiosarcoma, which is necessary for the early identification of this infrequent but fatal disease.
