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

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) are rare tumours with unpredictable biological behaviour ranging from benign to locally invasive and rarely, distant metastasis. While neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) may manifest with gastrointestinal soft tissue tumours, this is the first report in the literature that describes an IMT occurring in a NF1 patient who presented with intestinal obstruction. Our patient presented with intestinal obstruction secondary to an obstructing terminal ileum mesenteric tumour.
