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

backgroundGastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare submucosal gastric lesion characterized by the extension of cystically dilated gastric mucosal glands into or below the muscularis mucosa, often due to various underlying causes. Typically, asymptomatic or associated with mild symptoms, GCP is most commonly discovered incidentally during surgery or endoscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of GCP accompanied by acute inflammation and abscess formation. CASE SUMMARY: A 37-year-old woman presented with upper abdominal pain. Laboratory tests showed elevated inflammatory markers and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels. Gastroscopy revealed a submucosal bulge. Based on enhanced computed tomography findings, an ectopic pancreas with cyst was suspected. Clinically, we decided to perform distal gastrectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed that the patient had GCP complicated by acute inflammation and abscess formation. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery.

conclusionThis case provides information on new complications of GCP and emphasizes the diagnostic value of enhanced computed tomography.
