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 tumours (GISTs) most commonly arise in the stomach or small intestine, whereas retroperitoneal lesions are rare. A 69-year-old woman without neurofibromatosis type 1 underwent single-incision laparoscopic resection for a high-risk jejunal GIST. Four months later, follow-up computed tomography revealed a 25-mm retroperitoneal tumour adjacent to the right common iliac artery, which had been retrospectively identifiable on the initial imaging. Laparoscopic excision was successfully performed, and pathological examination confirmed GIST. The patient resumed adjuvant imatinib therapy and remains disease-free at 12 months. Retrospective review of 18 surgically treated small intestinal GISTs at our institution showed that most multiple lesions were associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 or peritoneal dissemination, whereas the present case represented an exceptionally rare sporadic presentation. Careful imaging assessment and postoperative surveillance are essential for detecting atypical extra-gastrointestinal lesions.
