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

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with an increased risk of tumours, including gastrointestinal stromal tumours. These are usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. Small bowel obstruction due to gastrointestinal stromal tumour in neurofibromatosis 1 is rare, especially in young adults. We report a 24-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with right upper quadrant pain and biochemical features of acute cholecystitis. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, unexpected small bowel dilatation prompted conversion to laparotomy, revealing obstruction from a large multifocal jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumour. This case highlights the rarity of such a presentation and the importance of surgical adaptability intraoperatively.
