Bone metastasis of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor: A report of two cases.
Article in Oncology letters, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most frequently diagnosed mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. GISTs usually arise from the stomach, followed by the small intestine, rectum and other locations in the GI tract. The most common metastatic sites are the liver and peritoneum, whereas GISTs rarely metastasize to the bone. Although a small number of previous studies have described bone metastases originating from GISTs, the true prevalence is yet to be elucidated. The present study describes two cases of bone metastasis in patients with GISTs and reviews the relevant literature. Case one was of a 78-year-old male who presented with bone metastasis to the femoral neck five years after the resection of a GIST. The metastasis was completely resected and the patient remains alive nine years after the initial diagnosis of the GIST. Case 2 was of a 41-year-old male who presented with bone metastases to the ribs following resection of GISTs seven and 17 years earlier. The metastases were completely resected and the patient remains alive 17 years after the initial diagnosis. In total, only 10 cases of GISTs with metastases to the bone have been reported in the English literature. The possibility of bone metastases originating from a GIST should be considered during clinical follow-up, particularly in the presence of liver metastases. If feasible, bone metastases should be completely surgically excised.
