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

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a clinical diagnosis characterized by early satiety, abdominal pain, post-prandial vomiting, and weight loss. Here, we present a rare case of an ectopic pancreatic cyst inducing GOO, highlighting the importance of a thorough diagnostic workup. A 40-year-old man with no prior medical or surgical history presented with a six-month history of intermittent epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting with an inability to tolerate oral intake for a week. CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a 4.5 × 3.0 × 2.9 cm, well-circumscribed, peripherally enhancing cystic lesion in the distal pylorus. Initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed an obstructive submucosal mass at the antrum. Random gastric biopsies were negative for malignancy or evidence of
