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

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare in the rectum. These usually present with symptoms produced by compression of pelvic organs or bleeding. Surgery is the treatment of choice, however, at times the surgery can be mutilating and organ preservation may not be possible. In such cases imatinib can be used. We report a case of rectal GIST that presented with urinary obstruction and obstipation treated with long-term imatinib with very good response and relief of symptoms, which prompted the patient to refuse surgery and resulted in organ preservation.
