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.
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
Gastric-type lesions in the duodenum, including pyloric gland adenoma and gastric foveolar metaplasia, have been increasingly recognized for their unique histogenesis and potential link through the metaplasia-neoplasia sequence. However, the coexistence of neoplastic and non-neoplastic gastric-type lesions within the same histological section has not been previously reported. Here, we present a case of a 73-year-old Japanese woman who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for a 34 × 20 mm elevated lesion in the duodenal bulb. Based on the preoperative biopsy results, pyloric gland adenoma was diagnosed; however, histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed a far more complex picture. The main lesion consisted of two contiguous components: a hyperplastic polyp with gastric foveolar-type phenotype (Lesion I) and a pyloric gland adenoma mixed with gastric foveolar-type hyperplastic polyp (Lesion II). Importantly, the transitional zone between these components demonstrated histological continuity, with areas showing admixture of hyperplastic and adenomatous features within the same microscopic field. A separate hyperplastic polyp with gastric foveolar-type phenotype (Lesion III) was also identified, separated from Lesions I and II by intervening normal duodenal mucosa. All lesions shared a gastric-type mucin phenotype (MUC5AC-positive, CD10-negative), and extensive Brunner's gland hyperplasia was observed throughout the specimen. This case provides compelling morphological evidence for a histogenetic link between non-neoplastic gastric-type hyperplasia and pyloric gland adenoma, supporting the concept of a metaplasia-neoplasia sequence in the duodenum. Furthermore, the presence of an additional separate lesion with the same phenotype suggests a field change in the development of gastric-type lesions.
