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 tumours (GIST) are a rare form of neoplasm. The stomach is the commonest location while gastrointestinal bleeding and pain are the usual presentations. Rectal GIST has been reported in literature as a rare occurrence. We report the rare case of a 37-year-old man who presented with large bowel obstruction and acute urinary retention arising from a rectal GIST. Radiological investigations showed features in keeping with intestinal obstruction. He had a divided colostomy and tumour debulking. Histology of tumour revealed a rectal GIST and immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD34 and CD117. Postoperatively Imatinib was commenced and patient did well. We report this case to highlight the unusual symptoms that may arise from a rare pathology like rectal GIST and the need to consider an alternative diagnosis-such as GIST, in a young adult presenting with large bowel obstruction in the absence of risk factors for bowel adenocarcinoma.
