Case Report: Jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumour, a rare tumour, with a challenging diagnosis and a successful treatment.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 tumours (GISTs) are rare. GISTs comprise 0.2% of gastrointestinal tumours and only 0.04% of small intestinal tumours. Jejunal GISTs are the rarest subtype. Only 10-30% progress to malignancy [Choi (Response evaluation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Oncologist 2008; 13: :4-7)]. We present a 70-year-old male, with multiple co-morbidities, who had extensive investigations over 5 years for vague abdominal pain. All investigations were normal. He presented with symptoms and signs of small bowel obstruction (SBO), confirmed on a computed tomography scan and demonstrated to be secondary to lesion-induced intussusception. The patient had emergency small bowel resection, was discharged after 4 days and remains well. This case report highlights the rarity of jejunal GISTs and, as extensive initial investigation yielded all false-negative results, indicates the difficulty in diagnosing jejunal GISTs. Adhesions are the commonest cause of SBO in patients with previous abdominal surgery, followed by newly diagnosed malignancies [Beardsley et al. (Small bowel obstruction in the virgin abdomen: the need for a mandatory laparotomy explored. Am J Surg 2014; 208: :243-8)]. Consequently, in patients with a virgin abdomen, underlying tumours should be considered.
