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

Hyperplastic gastric polyps are typically benign and asymptomatic, often found incidentally during endoscopy. However, rare cases may present with bleeding, especially when polyps are large, ulcerated, or pedunculated. We report a 69-year-old male with melena and symptomatic anemia who was found to have a 3.6 cm ulcerated, pedunculated gastric polyp on endoscopy. The lesion was resected with a snare, and hemostasis was achieved with hemoclips. Pathology confirmed a hyperplastic polyp without dysplasia or malignancy. This case highlights the importance of considering bleeding polyps in the differential diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and the dual diagnostic-therapeutic role of endoscopic resection.
