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 51-year-old man had hematochezia, anemia, and an intraabdominal mass. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy showed no significant lesions with intraluminal bleeding, while radiological examinations showed bulky swelling of the lymph nodes around the abdominal aorta and a tumor in the left ischial bone. Small intestine endoscopy detected a dark purpuric protruding tumor of the jejunum and its biopsy specimen brought a definitive diagnosis of primary jejunal epithelioid angiosarcoma from positive staining of AE1/AE3, CD31, and erythroblast transformation specific related gene in immunohistochemical studies. The patient underwent surgical resection with adjuvant chemotherapy but died of progression of metastases 7 months after the diagnosis. Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract is an extremely rare malignancy with poor prognosis and it is challenging to distinguish from undifferentiated carcinoma or melanoma. Immunohistochemistry is necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Sufficient biopsy specimen may aid a prompt diagnosis of this disease of the small intestine, which may present as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
