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

backgroundComputed tomography (CT) imaging features are associated with risk stratification of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).

aimTo determine the multi-slice CT imaging features for predicting risk stratification in patients with primary gastric GISTs.

methodsThe clinicopathological and CT imaging data for 147 patients with histologically confirmed primary gastric GISTs were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had received dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) followed by surgical resection. According to the modified National Institutes of Health criteria, 147 lesions were classified into the low malignant potential group (very low and low risk; 101 lesions) and high malignant potential group (medium and high-risk; 46 lesions). The association between malignant potential and CT characteristic features (including tumor location, size, growth pattern, contour, ulceration, cystic degeneration or necrosis, calcification within the tumor, lymphadenopathy, enhancement patterns, unenhanced CT and CECT attenuation value, and enhancement degree) was analyzed using univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify significant predictors of high malignant potential. The receiver operating curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of tumor size and the multinomial logistic regression model for risk classification.

resultsThere were 46 patients with high malignant potential and 101 with low-malignant potential gastric GISTs. Univariate analysis showed no significant differences in age, gender, tumor location, calcification, unenhanced CT and CECT attenuation values, and enhancement degree between the two groups (

conclusionCT features, including tumor size, growth patterns, and lesion contours, were predictors of malignant potential for primary gastric GISTs.
