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

backgroundThis study assessed the clinical characteristics of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), obstruction (GIO), and perforation (GIP) in patients with primary gastrointestinal lymphomas.

methodsA retrospective analysis was performed of 347 patients with primary gastrointestinal lymphomas admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University Between January 2014 and January 2024. The clinical characteristics of GIB, GIO, and GIP were recorded. This study employed propensity score matching (PSM) to identify risk factors for gastrointestinal complications (GICs).

resultsIn our study of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma cohort, GICs occurred in 34.0% of patients. In our study, GIB occurred in 75 cases (21.6%), GIO occurred in 45 cases (12.9%) and GIP occurred in 28 cases (8.0%). PSM analysis indicated that decreased hemoglobin (112.57 ± 19.95 vs. 100.24 ± 23.20, P = 0.041) and LDH (272.00, 189.00-399.00 vs. 188.00, 166.00-230.90, P = 0.011) levels, as well as the presence of stomachache (P = 0.027) are high-risk factors for the development of GIB. Stomachache (28 [62.2%] vs. 37 [82.2%], P = 0.034), vomiting (12 [26.7%] vs. 21 [46.6%], P = 0.031), and endoscopic evidence of hyperplastic lesions (P = 0.022) are identified as high-risk factors for GIO. Moreover, patients with endoscopic findings of ulcerative lesions (4 [14.2%] vs. 12 [42.9%], p = 0.025), decreased hemoglobin levels (119.5 ± 22.32 vs. 102.79 ± 25.50, P = 0.012), stomachache (16 [57.1%] vs. 23 [82.1%], P = 0.048), and constipation (8 [28.6%] vs. 3 [10.7%], P = 0.043) are more likely to experience GIP.

conclusionThis study attempted to identify risk factors for GIB, GIO, and GIP in patients with primary gastrointestinal lymphoma through PSM analysis.
