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

An inflammatory fibroid polyp (Vaněk's polyp) is a rare, benign, mesenchymal polyp originating from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms are non-specific and depend on the tumor size and location. Despite their benign nature, these tumors can mimic other malignant conditions, making an accurate diagnosis crucial for appropriate management. Histologically, they are submucosal lesions composed of spindle-shaped or stellate stromal cells, stroma with thin-walled vessels around which spindle-shaped cells are arranged similar to onion skin, an eosinophil-rich inflammatory infiltrate, and minimal mitotic activity. In this article, we present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a giant benign inflammatory fibroid polyp of the stomach. We performed distal esophageal resection, total gastrectomy, and omentectomy, as the passage was restored with a transmesocolic termino-lateral esophago-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis. We also present a brief literature review on this topic.
