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

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the gastrointestinal tract is an extreme rarity. Clinical manifestations of EMPs are varied, depending on the position and progress of tumor. Here we report a case of an EMP involving rectum in an 80-year-old, male patient with a change of bowel habit. Computed tomography scanning confirmed a circumscribed, iso-attenuating mass with the obvious heterogeneous enhancement. Patient received the surgical resection by laparoscope and the plasmacytoma was finally confirmed by the pathology. Furthermore, we made a literature review about the EMP of gastrointestinal tract to get the further study. Finally, we found out there is no specificity in imaging examination. Diagnosis of EMP still depends on the histopathology.
