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

A granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare neoplasia that originates from Schwann cells. It usually appears in the skin or soft tissues, but it may occur anywhere in the body. The gastrointestinal tract is an unusual developmental site for a GCT, the esophagus being the most common site of origin for this tumor. The stomach is one of the most unique sites of origin for GCT, with less than 80 cases being mentioned in the literature. Histologically, GCTs consist of fusiform and polygonal cells, with granular cytoplasm, arranged in compact 'nests'. Immunohistochemically, these tumors show positivity for S100 protein, CD68, CD56 and, in a smaller percentage, they are positive for other antibodies, most notably inhibin alpha. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman with a solitary GCT that had developed in the gastric cardia, discovered on a routine gastroscopy and successfully treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
