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

backgroundGastric schwannoma is a rare gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumor with Schwann cell differentiation. In the past, most of the published cases were single gastric schwannoma. Multiple gastric schwannoma is exceedingly rare. We herein report a case of multiple gastric schwannomas. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old male presented with postprandial vomiting of unclear etiology, accompanied by epigastric pain and bloating. Computed tomography revealed marked thickening of the gastric wall at the fundus-body junction along the greater curvature and gastric angle, with intraluminal nodular projections. Multiphase contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated moderate progressive enhancement. The patient was misdiagnosed as having a gastric stromal tumor before the operation and subsequently underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. However, pathological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed multiple gastric schwannomas. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged without complications.

conclusionGastric schwannoma is rare in clinical practice, especially gastric multiple schwannomas, which are easily confused with gastric stromal tumors, as illustrated in this case, where a preoperative misdiagnosis occurred. Clinicians should enhance their recognition of characteristic imaging features (including Computed tomography, Magnetic resonance imaging, and Positron emission tomography) and employ multimodal diagnostic approaches to optimize preoperative diagnosis.
