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

Gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal stromal tumors that are characteristically CD117 positive. Distinction from other spindle cell tumors such as leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas is based on clinical, histological, and molecular features. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration has become a highly used means of preoperative identification of GIST, especially if immunohistochemical staining for CD117 can be performed. We present a case of a posterior mediastinal mass diagnosed as GIST after being found to be CD117 positive, later found to be a metastatic leiomyosarcoma.
