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

backgroundGastric intramural hematoma is a rare disease. Here we report a case of spontaneous isolated gastric intramural hematoma combined with spontaneous superior mesenteric artery intermural hematoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-years-old man was admitted to our department with complaints of abdominal pain. He underwent a whole abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan in the emergency department, which showed extensive thickening of the gastric wall in the gastric body and sinus region with enlarged surrounding lymph nodes, localized thickening of the intestinal wall in the transverse colon, localized indistinct demarcation between the stomach and transverse colon, and a small amount of fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity. Immediately afterwards, he was admitted to our department, and then we arranged a computed tomography with intravenously administered contrast agent showed a spontaneous isolated gastric intramural hematoma combined with spontaneous superior mesenteric artery intermural hematoma. Therefore, we treated him with anticoagulation and conservative observation. During his stay in the hospital, he was given low-molecular heparin by subcutaneous injection for anticoagulation therapy, and after discharge, he was given oral anticoagulation therapy with rivaroxaban. At the follow-up of more than 4 months, most of the intramural hematoma was absorbed and became significantly smaller, and the intermural hematoma of the superior mesenteric artery was basically absorbed, which also confirmed that the intramural mass was an intramural hematoma.

conclusionA gastric intramural hematoma should be considered, when an intra-abdominal mass was found to be attached to the gastric wall. Proper recognition of gastric intramural hematoma can reduce the misdiagnosis rate of confusion with gastric cancer.
