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

rationaleSolitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are spindle cell tumors that typically occur in the pleura and peritoneum, but very rarely in the stomach. To our best knowledge, there are only 10 cases reported in English literature. We reported a case of primary stomach SFT and summarized the characteristics of all previous cases, suggesting that pathologists and surgeons should include this disease in the differential diagnosis list of primary mesenchymal tumor of the stomach. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient suffered from epigastric pain for 5 months. Gastroscopy revealed a submucosa mass along the greater curvature centered on the gastric body. A repeat gastroscopy after 6 months showed a slight increase in mass size. DIAGNOSES: Endoscopic ultrasound showed the mass in the middle and lower portion of the stomach body, measuring 3.1cm in diameter, with a smooth surface. The patient was initially diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor by gastroscopy. However, the pathologic morphology and immunohistochemical staining of resected specimens after surgery support a diagnosis of primary gastric SFT.

interventionsThe patient underwent a laparoscopic gastric mass resection. OUTCOMES: The patient returned to hospital after 3 months with no recurrence or postoperative complications. During the 18-month follow-up period, the patient did not experience any tumor recurrence or metastasis. LESSONS: This case teaches us that SFT should be included in the differential diagnoses of gastric primary spindle cell tumors, even though it is very rare in the stomach.
