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

backgroundEsophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma (ESGDA) is very rare, and easily diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. CASE SUMMARY: A 70-year-old man presented with abdominal discomfort and intermittent dull pain during swallowing for 10 days. Digestive endoscopy revealed a polypoid bulge at the esophago-gastric junction, which was resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Routine pathological examination showed intestinal metaplasia of the glandular epithelium on the mucosal surface, with serous tumor-like complex glands in the submucosa which showing significant hyperplasia. This initially diagnosis was early gastric adenocarcinoma. However, we still observed a few points that did not meet the criteria for cancer such as lack of malignant features. Following multidisciplinary discussion and consultation with the experienced specialist pathologists, we finally diagnosed the lesion as a rare ESGDA by further immunohistochemistry. The follow-up examination results for the patient were satisfactory, with no evidence of tumor recurrence. And we summarize the ESGDAs reported in the literature, aiming to enhance understanding of this tumor type.

conclusionESGDA is a benign tumor that can be cured by ESD. Accurate diagnosis can prevent unnecessary extensive therapeutic interventions.
