Incidental finding of GIST during obesity surgery.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to review the incidence of incidental gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in a cohort of morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), analyzing surgery indication, morbidity, and follow-up data.
methodsAll cases with incidental GISTs found were reviewed.
resultsTwo thousand six hundred three patients underwent obesity surgery founding a gastric GIST in eight patients (incidence 0.31 %). Mean tumor size was 7.65 mm (range 2.5-13 mm) with the majority of the lesions located in the fundus of the stomach. All lesions had negative resection margins. At a mean follow-up of 30 months, all patients were disease-free.
conclusionThe long-term disease-free survival of 100 % in our study establishes laparoscopic wedge resection during RYGB and LSG as safe and effective in treating incidental gastric GISTs <2 cm.
