Giant gastric stromal tumor mimicking as a posterior mediastinal mass: A case report and literature review.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
rationaleGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Mediastinal GISTs are rare and mostly arise from the esophagus. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 68-year-old woman with dysphagia who presented with a huge posterior mediastinal mass. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with a GIST through chest computed tomography (CT)-guided core biopsy of the mass.
interventionsComplete excision including the tumor, lower part of the esophagus and fundus of the stomach were performed. OUTCOMES: On follow-up after 48 months, the patient is currently alive without any evidence of tumor recurrence. LESSONS: The case highlights GISTs are taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of posterior mediastinal masses.
