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

Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumour (GNET) is a rare, aggressive neoplasm with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. Most cases arise in the tubular gastrointestinal tract. We reported a unique case of GNET arising in the extrahepatic bile ducts and reviewed the literature of GNETs. The patient is a female in her mid-30s who presented with painless jaundice and diarrhoea several months after cholecystectomy for biliary dyskinesia. Workup revealed a tumour arising from the peripheral 4B bile ducts involving the left hepatic duct and bifurcation. Histologic examination of the lesion showed a malignant spindled and epithelioid neoplasm which strongly expressed S100 and SOX-10. Neoplastic cells were negative for various cytokeratins and melanoma markers. FISH testing using
