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

Gastric schwannomas are rare peripheral nerve sheath tumors which are usually found incidentally while undergoing workup for other conditions. Despite their benign nature, they require surgical resection with negative margins. It is important to differentiate gastric schwannomas from gastrointestinal stromal tumors prior to surgical excision, as this can alter the recommended surgical plan. This can be achieved with endoscopic ultrasound and fine needle aspiration with analysis of the sampled tissue using immunohistochemical stains. We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient with an incidental finding of a gastric fundus schwannoma. Laparoscopic gastric wedge resection was performed with complete excision of the tumor and negative margins. Pathology was confirmed with immunohistochemical stains positive for S-100 and negative for CD117 and DOG1. Post-operative recovery was uneventful without tumor recurrence.
