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

backgroundExtragastric lesions are typically not misdiagnosed as gastric submucosal tumor (SMT). However, we encountered two rare cases where extrinsic lesions were misdiagnosed as gastric SMTs. CASE SUMMARY: We describe two cases of gastric SMT-like protrusions initially misdiagnosed as gastric SMTs by the abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Based on the CT and EUS findings, the patients underwent gastroscopy; however, no tumor was identified after incising the gastric wall. Subsequent surgical exploration revealed no gastric lesions in both patients, but a mass was found in the left triangular ligament of the liver. The patients underwent laparoscopic tumor resection, and the postoperative diagnosis was hepatic hemangiomas.

conclusionDuring EUS procedures, scanning across different layers and at varying degrees of gastric cavity distension, coupled with meticulous image analysis, has the potential to mitigate the likelihood of such misdiagnoses.
