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

Only a few instances of giant gastrointestinal stromal tumors and even fewer cases of such tumors with intra-tumoral bleeding have ever been reported. This report represents a case with both giant size and intra-tumoral spontaneous hemorrhage. Here a 42-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain and abdominal distention of 5-month duration. The distention had fast growth over 1 month before the hospital presentation. Physical examination showed a conjunctival pallor and an ill-defined abdominal mass. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed a huge intra-abdominal mass with variable enhancements. Surgical exploration was done and a huge mass measuring 10.5 kg with dimensions of 32 × 30 × 15 cm was excised en-bloc with distal gastrectomy.
