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 (GIST) are tumors of mesenchymal origin, accounting for less than 1% of the primary neoplasms of the digestive tract, which can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract. However, they can also occur in other locations outside the gastrointestinal tract. In such situations, these are known as extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (eGIST). We present a 58-year-old male, who attended the emergency department due to asthenia, anorexia, heartburn, abdominal pain, and distension, who was ultimately diagnosed with an eGIST in the peritoneum. The immunohistochemistry pattern of the tumor sample obtained favored this diagnosis, especially demonstrated by the positivity for discovered on GIST protein 1 (DOG1) and negativity of smooth muscle markers. Due to the rarity of extragastrointestinal tumors and the even greater rarity of those originating in the peritoneum, the authors consider this a pertinent clinical case to be published due to its originality.
