Malignant extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the liver: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) predominantly occur outside of the gastrointestinal tract, and their biological and histological characteristics are similar to those of GISTs. Primary EGIST occurrence in the liver is extremely rare. The present study reports a case of primary EGIST in the caudate lobe of the liver in a 61-year-old Chinese man. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 7.3×5.1-cm heterogeneously enhanced neoplasm with solid and cystic components located in the caudate lobe of the liver. The patient underwent caudate lobe (specifically, Spiegel lobe) resection. Immunohistochemical analysis of the resected tumor revealed a strong positivity for cluster of differentiation (CD)117, discovered on GIST-1 and CD34. Thus, based on the histological and immunohistochemical findings, the final diagnosis was primary hepatic EGIST. Follow up was conducted at 3-month intervals for the first year and 6-months thereafter. The patient was asymptomatic without any sign of recurrence during the follow-up period. Lab tests were in normal range, and no mass was found in CT scan.
