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

Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) of the lesser omentum are exceedingly rare mesenchymal neoplasms. Their precise preoperative diagnosis is a well-recognized radiological challenge because they frequently mimic exophytic visceral tumors on cross-sectional imaging. A 28-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of a progressively enlarging epigastric mass. Contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed a 9.0 × 9.6 × 12.0 cm heterogeneously enhancing mass. Using multiplanar reformations, the absence of the "claw sign" and the presence of preserved fat planes between the mass and the adjacent stomach and liver accurately localized the tumor to the lesser omentum. This radiologic mapping allowed for an expedited
