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

Gastric schwannomas and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are two types of mesenchymal tumors, which represent a group of rare tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. The differential diagnosis between these two tumors is difficult given their very similar appearance and clinical features. The authors present a case of a 63-year-old man with melena and epigastric pain. An upper digestive endoscopy was performed, revealing an ulcerated gastric subepithelial lesion suspected to be a GIST. Further imaging with a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a well-defined hypodense solid nodular mass, with homogeneous enhancement, measuring 22 × 18 mm, on the anterior wall of the transition between the body and gastric antrum, situated within the submucosal layer. The patient subsequently underwent a laparoscopic atypical gastrectomy, which proceeded without complications. The pathological examination of the excised lesion confirmed it to be a gastric schwannoma, with complete excision. This case report illustrates a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, that requires immediate action, and
