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

backgroundSmall bowel tumors (SBTs) are a heterogeneous group of difficult-to-diagnose tumors that account for 2%-5% of all gastrointestinal tumors. Single-balloon enteroscopy greatly enhances the diagnosis and treatment of SBTs. However, few epidemiological studies have been conducted in Taiwan to determine the clinical profile of SBTs.

aimTo investigate the clinical characteristics, managements and prognosis of SBTs in a medical center in Taiwan.

methodsThe study enrolled 51 patients aged 58.9 ± 8.8 years (range, 22-93) diagnosed with SBTs from November 2009 to July 2021. We retrospectively recorded clinical characteristics, indications, endoscopic findings, pathological results, management, and outcomes for further analysis.

resultsA male preponderance was observed (56.8%). The most common indications were suspected small intestinal tumors (52.9%) and obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (39.2%). The most common tumor location was the ileum (41.2%). The performance of imaging studies (

conclusionPatients with GISTs have a significantly higher survival rate than those with other malignant SBTs. Therefore, a large-scale nationwide study is warranted to evaluate the population-based epidemiology of SBTs.
