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

The synchronous occurrence of epithelial-derived gastric signet ring cell carcinoma and mesenchymal-derived pulmonary fibrosarcoma in a single patient is extremely rare in clinical practice. Here, we report the case of a 23-year-old man who presented with hematemesis and melena for 6 days. Gastroscopy revealed two irregular small ulcers in the upper-middle segment of the gastric body. CT imaging demonstrated uneven thickening of the gastric wall along the greater curvature, with local ulcer formation, as well as a small nodule in the left lower lobe of the lung. The patient underwent thoracotomy, and postoperative pathology confirmed signet ring cell carcinoma in the stomach and fibrosarcoma in the lung. The coexisting tumor was diagnosed in one patient although it is unknown whether it is an accidental event or is caused by some underlying mechanism that makes him develop different malignancy in different organs simultaneously. This report serves to alert clinicians to this rare condition.
