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

We describe a case of gastric granular cell tumor (GCT) treated with laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS). A 30-year-old male was referred to our hospital for the investigation of a subepithelial lesion (SEL). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a 15 mm SEL within the posterior wall of the gastric body. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a well-demarcated, homogenous, hypoechoic lesion in the submucosa, suggesting partial invasion into the muscularis propria. Biopsy using the bite-on-bite technique showed a gastric GCT diagnosis. The patient underwent LECS, and pathological findings confirmed a benign gastric GCT without muscularis propria invasion, lymphovascular invasion, or lymph node metastasis. The patient remained recurrence-free after 24 months.Despite unresolved issues such as setting the resection margins; indications for resection, and accurate preoperative diagnosis of the invasion depth, including muscularis propria invasion, LECS may be useful for gastric GCT in the form of SEL, especially for lesions that cannot be ruled out to invade the muscularis propria invasion.
