Gastric lipomas: a case series and review of a rare tumor.
Article in BJR case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The purpose of the study was to investigate and review the multimodality imaging findings of gastric lipomas. Seven patients with gastric lipomas identified by CT imaging at a single institution between 2003 and 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. Patient demographics, clinical presentation, non-invasive imaging, endoscopic, and pathological findings were recorded.The most common location for gastric lipoma was the gastric antrum (3/7). The mean lipoma size was 2.7 cm ± 0.8 cm. Six out of seven lipomas demonstrated homogenous fat attenuation with mean Hounsfield units (HU) between -80 and -120. A single lipoma measuring -50 HU demonstrated soft tissue septations. In addition to routine CT and MRI, gastric lipomas were diagnosed on the low-dose CT protocols such as coronary calcium scoring, renal stone, and positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT). Our CT findings corroborate those reported previously. Soft tissue septations visualized in one lesion likely represented post-biopsy changes, adding this etiology to a differential which previously included only ulceration. Cases characterized by MRI are rare in the literature, and our study provides one such example. To our knowledge this study represents the first documentation of gastric lipomas on PET-CT and other low-dose CT imaging protocols.
