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

Crystal-storing histiocytosis (CSH) is a rare disorder characterized by the accumulation of non-neoplastic histiocytes that contain intracytoplasmic crystallized immunoglobulins. Although CSH can occur in various organs, gastric CSH is very rare. Therefore, diagnosing gastric CSH remains a challenge. Here, we present the case of a 69-year-old man with localized gastric CSH who presented with positive fecal occult blood for 2 days. Gastroscopy showed that there was a piece of irregular whitish focus in the big bend of the gastric antrum, which was soft and elastic. Histologically, the biopsied gastric mucosa showed chronic inflammation, mild activity with erosion, and numerous eosinophilic mononuclear cells containing fibrillary crystalloid inclusions in the lamina propria. Immunohistochemically, these crystal-containing cells were positive for CD68/PGM1 and Igk, which revealed that the cells were histiocytes harboring kappa light chain-restricted immunoglobulin crystals. Electron microscopic examination showed numerous high-electron-density particles in the cytoplasm of cells, with crystal structures of different sizes and shapes. This case highlights how immunohistochemistry can help with differential diagnosis and classification.
