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

Most cases of melanoma found in the gastrointestinal tract are the result of metastasis. Although uncommon and only described in isolated case reports, primary gastric melanoma should be considered when patients present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms and a mass is identified on esophagogastroduodenoscopy or imaging. We describe a case of primary gastric balloon cell melanoma in a 73-year-old man who presented with melena. Given the high morbidity and mortality of gastric mucosal melanoma, early diagnosis and initiation of treatment can lead to improved outcomes and survival.
