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

backgroundThe optimal surgical modality for duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) remains undefined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term survival outcomes of patients who underwent radical resection (RR) or limited resection (LR) of duodenal GIST.

methodsA total of 325 patients identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database who underwent surgery for duodenal GIST between 1986 and 2016 were classified into a LR group and a RR group based on the type of surgery received. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to minimize the selection bias in comparisons. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) were observed, and factors affecting the survival outcome were analyzed.

resultsIn the entire cohort, 105 patients (32.3%) underwent RR and 220 (67.7%) received LR. Both the 5-year OS and DSS in RR group were significantly better than those in LR group (71.0% vs. 54.1%, P = 0.014; 66.6% vs. 49.1%, P = 0.025). PSM resulted in 95 pairs of patients, with long-term outcomes being comparable between the two groups. After adjusting covariates in the propensity matched cohort, the type of surgery still showed no significant impact on OS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.160; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.662-2.033) and DSS (HR 1.208; 95% CI 0.686-2.128).

conclusionsSurgical modalities do not seem to have a significant impact on long-term survival outcomes of patients with duodenal GIST and should mainly depend on the tumor size and location.
