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

rationaleWe report a rare case of gastric cardiac leiomyoma with massive gastrointestinal bleeding as the first symptom that presented. This is the first case of this rare condition occurring in a patient younger than 20 years old. Positive results could not be obtained by routine biopsy, and the diagnosis was finally confirmed by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A man aged less than 20 years old presented to the emergency department of the hospital due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding for 2 days. DIAGNOSES: Emergency gastroscopy revealed that a bulging mass could be seen at the gastric cardia. Computed tomography revealed a large hypoechoic mass in the cardia of the fundus without enhancement. Finally, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was a leiomyoma.

interventionsThe patient ultimately opted for total gastrectomy. OUTCOMES: The patient's gastric cardiac leiomyoma was completely resolved, and no digestive tract symptoms recurred after 1 month of follow-up. LESSONS: For young patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, we should also be aware of the possibility of other rare causes. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration is very valuable for the diagnosis of submucosal tumors.
