Primary gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the liver: a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundRecently, gastrointestinal stromal tumors that have developed outside of the digestive tract have been reported. These tumors are collectively termed extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors can also develop in the liver. Only eight case reports involving primary GIST of the liver have been published. We report a case and review the literature regarding this disease. CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old woman with a past history of gastric cancer visited our hospital for regular inspection. With extensive radiological imaging, a computed tomography scan revealed a mass with a size of 6.8 cm in the lateral segment of the liver. (18)F-Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography revealed no other malignancies except for the liver tumor. Because the lesion was suspected of being a primary malignant hepatic tumor, lateral segmentectomy was performed. The immunohistochemical analysis supported the diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors in the liver. The patient has had no evidence of recurrence during the 10-month follow-up period; imatinib chemotherapy was not administered.
conclusionsPrimary hepatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors had no characteristics that distinguished them from ordinary tumors in imaging examinations. Primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors might have developed from interstitial Cajal-like cells.
