The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03716089 (Prospective Controlled Clinical Trial for Comparison of Tumor Efficacy Safety in Laparoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Between Favorable and Unfavorable Site（FUGES-016）), which is not on this map.

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.
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.

Abstract
introductionGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although the therapy targeted at inhibiting tyrosine kinases has shown dramatic results in metastatic and inoperable GISTs, the mainstay of treatment in primary localized forms remains surgical resection.
aimTo provide an overview of our experience of GIST diagnosis and management, with emphasis on comparison of minimally invasive and open surgical resection for primary GISTs. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all patients who underwent surgical removal of GISTs from 2008 to 2012. Patient demographics, clinical data, surgery, complications, histopathological data and clinical course were analyzed.
resultsForty-four patients were identified. Average age at diagnosis was 63 years. Minimally invasive (MIS) and open surgery (OS) were each attempted in 22 (50.0%) patients. Laparoscopic removal was performed in 20, laparoendoscopic in 1, and laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic removal in 1. Conversion to an open procedure was performed in 4 (18.2%). We found significant differences in postoperative length of stay (8.5 days vs. 10.1 days, p < 0.001) and tumor size (2.93 cm vs. 5.78 cm, p = 0.018) between MIS and OS groups, respectively.
conclusionsLaparoscopic removal is safe and effective for GISTs not exceeding 6 cm. Gastroesophageal junction and cardia GISTs require careful preoperative evaluation and planning to remove safely. We recommend avoiding laparoscopic removal of these tumors due to the high rate of conversion (100.0%) to an open procedure. Laparoendoscopic surgical approach is an appropriate technique for removal of small-sized intraluminal benign GISTs not involving the muscularis propria layer.
