Asymptomatic esophageal glomus tumor: case report.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Glomus tumor (GT) is one of the rarest gastrointestinal soft tissue neoplasms. GT in the esophagus has been scarcely reported, and only less than ten cases have been reported. Herein, we report another case of asymptomatic esophageal GT. A 30-year-old male patient was admitted due to incidental finding of esophageal mass on gastroscopy examination. Gastroscopy examination revealed an esophageal mass of 2.0 cm × 1.8 cm. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) showed a heterogeneous, hypoechoic mass originated from the submucosal layer and was adjacent to the thoracic aorta. The final diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry of smooth muscle actin (SMA), vimentin, caldesmon and focal positive of desmin, synaptophysin. The patient underwent submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) which was effective and the patient was discharged from our hospital 6 days after surgery. Upon 1 year of follow-up, no metastasis was observed. Esophageal GTs lacked specific manifestations and immunohistochemistry was crucial in diagnosis. Endoscopic treatment such as STER is a safe and effective method of treatment.
