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

In the present case report, we have described the incidental finding of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the appendix following surgical evaluation of a possible closed loop small bowel obstruction in the right lower quadrant. Upon exploration inside the abdomen, the distal ileum and proximal cecum appeared dusky with chronic strictures. An ileocecectomy was performed, and pathology returned with an incidental GIST of the appendix with a T1N0 classification.
