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

Small intestine tumors are rare. The four main groups include adenocarcinomas, neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN), lymphomas, and mesenchymal tumors. The jejunum and ileum can only be examined endoscopically with device-assisted enteroscopy techniques (DAET), which are indicated only when specific clinical or imaging findings are present. The initial diagnosis of tumors of the small intestine is mostly made using computed tomography (CT). Video capsule endoscopy (VCE), computed tomography (CT) enterography, and magnetic resonance (MR) enterography are also time-consuming and costly modalities. Modern transabdominal gastrointestinal ultrasound (US) with high-resolution transducers is a dynamic examination method that is underrepresented in the diagnosis of small intestine tumors. US can visualize wall thickening, loss of wall stratification, luminal stenosis, and dilatation of proximal small-intestinal segments, as well as associated lymphadenopathy. This review aims to highlight the role and imaging features of ultrasound in the diagnosis of small-intestinal tumors.
