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

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that developed, validated, or updated clinical prognostic tools to predict survival in adults with primary GIST, identifying 47 eligible studies (38 development and 9 validation studies). Meta-analyses were performed to assess performance in external validation cohorts. The MSKCC nomogram was most frequently validated, with a pooled C-statistic of 0.78 for recurrence-free survival.
