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

Background: Castleman disease (CD) is a relatively rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of the lymphoid tissue. According to clinical manifestations, it is classified into two types: unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric CD (MCD). Pathological subtypes include hyaline-vascular (HV), plasma cell (PC), and mixed (MV). Gastrointestinal CD is extremely rare, and limited information is available regarding its clinical presentation and management. Case Summary: We report a case of a patient who presented with paroxysmal epigastric pain for 4 years. Laboratory tests showed no remarkable abnormalities, whereas CT revealed endogenous occupancy on the side of the greater curvature of the stomach. Ultrasonographic endoscopy demonstrated hypoechoic, well-defined foci. The lesion initially suspected to be an inflammatory fibroma was subsequently pathologically confirmed as HV-UCD following endoscopic submucosal dissection. The lesion was completely resected, and the patient showed no signs of recurrence during 7 months of follow-up. Conclusion: Gastrointestinal CD is rare and should be differentiated from other occupying lesions. Its definitive diagnosis relies on histopathology.
