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

Background: The clinical role of endoscopic resection in the treatment of exophytic gastric schwannomas measuring ≥3 cm remains controversial owing to technical difficulties and a paucity of evidence. Case presentation: A 58-year-old female patient was admitted for treatment after a gastric mass was discovered during routine physical examination. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed a well-demarcated, hypoechoic submucosal tumor measuring 40.9×32.3 mm. The patient subsequently underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) under general anesthesia. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of gastric schwannoma, with immunohistochemical staining showing strong S-100 protein positivity. The patient had an uneventful recovery with no procedure-related complications, and there has been no evidence of recurrence to date. Conclusion: While this single-case experience indicates the technical feasibility of ESD for gastric schwannomas >3 cm, larger-scale prospective studies are required to establish its role in clinical practice.
