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

introductionand importance: Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a benign, mesenchymal tumor that originates from Schwann cells. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital due to epigastric discomfort. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ulcerated cancer lesion, approximately 1.2 cm in diameter, at the angle of the stomach in the posterior gastric wall and a yellowish submucosal tumor, 5 mm in diameter, near an anal ulcerated lesion. Based on these findings, the patient was scheduled for laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and lymph node dissection. The pathological diagnosis was a moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma invading mucosal stroma without lymph node metastasis and GCT in the stomach. Tumor cells were positive for S-100 and were consistent with the characteristics of GCT. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is an extremely rare case with reports of only 6 cases of such a combination, including our case.

conclusionsWe believe that the coexistence of a GCT and gastric cancer in our patient was accidental and that there was no relation between them.
