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

Background: Anisakiasis-related gastric eosinophilic granuloma is rare. Case Report: Herein, we report a patient with anisakiasis-related gastric eosinophilic granuloma who was treated with laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS). A 59-year-old woman was presented to our hospital for further examination of a gastric lesion that was initially diagnosed by a local medical doctor. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed a submucosal tumor-like lesion in the lower body of the stomach. Endoscopic ultrasonography showed a heterogeneous hypoechoic submucosal mass lesion in the submucosal layer measuring 10 mm, without evidence of deep involvement. Under a clinical diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor, the patient underwent LECS. Gross appearance of the resected specimen revealed a 1.5×1.0 cm submucosal tumor-like lesion. Microscopic examination revealed necrosed insects consistent with the characteristics of gastric anisakiasis, around which prominent eosinophilic infiltration and granulomas were observed. This prompted a diagnosis of gastric eosinophilic granuloma related to anisakiasis. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of gastric eosinophilic granuloma related to anisakiasis resected by LECS in the English medical literature. LECS might be a useful procedure for minimally invasive therapeutic diagnosis.
