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

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm arising from gastrointestinal tract and can be benign or malignant. Rectal GISTs are rare and have poor prognosis. We here reported an older male who presented with features of distending discomfort in the rectum and pain in the anus due to a large rectal tumor. Physical examinations detected a mass in the rectum without blood staining on the gloved finger. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was found to be slightly elevated and the prostate-specific antigen level was normal.
