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

backgroundSubmucosal tumors arise from the subepithelial layer anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the stomach. A wide range of lesions, from benign to malignant, may present as gastric submucosal tumors. However, the gastric involvement of Crohn's disease (CD) is generally not considered in the differential diagnosis of such lesions. CASE SUMMARY: A 23-year-old male patient presented with a gastric subepithelial tumor. The medical history included CD. Diagnostic workup revealed a 3-cm mucosal lesion with a central ulceration on the posterior wall of the distal antrum. The patient underwent laparoscopic wedge resection of stomach, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathological analysis confirmed a diagnosis of gastric CD presenting as a subepithelial tumor.

conclusionDespite its rarity, upper gastrointestinal CD can present as a gastric subepithelial tumor, warranting consideration in young patients with CD.
