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

Tumor rupture and/or ulceration of the intestinal mucosa are well-known causes of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) hemorrhage; however, bleeding from an aberrant artery is exceedingly rare. An elderly female presented with profound anemia (nadir Hgb 4.8 g/dL) and ongoing melena over the past week. Esophagogastoduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and conventional angiography were negative. Tagged red blood cell scintigraphy localized the bleed to the proximal jejunum prompting diagnostic bedside push enteroscopy. Intraoperative examination revealed diverticular bleeding from a large-caliber aberrant artery arising from a shared arterial trunk supplying a jejunal GIST. Histopathology consistent with low-grade combined type GIST with immunochemistry positive for CD117 (c-KIT). This case highlights an unusual presentation of small bowel bleeding originating from an aberrant artery in continuity with a hypervascular jejunal GIST.
