Enormous gastrointestinal stromal tumor arising from the stomach causing weight loss and anemia in an elderly female: Case report.

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
introductionGastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors of gastrointestinal tract originating from the interstitial cell of Cajal. The presentation is variable depending on the size and site. CT scan is the most widely used imaging. The primary treatment is surgical resection. Imatinib may be used in unresectable tumors or preoperatively. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old lady had weight loss and repeated vomiting for one year. Examination showed a non-tender mass in the left hypochonrdium arising below the costal margin extending to 15 cm toward the left iliac fossa. It was firm with smooth surface. CT-scan examination showed a 45 cm × 21 cm mass arising between the spleen and the left kidney and displacing the kidney toward the midline. Gastroscopy and biopsy showed gastrointestinal stromal tumor. During surgery an enormous gastric tumor attached to the spleen. Total gastrectomy en-block with splenectomy and reconstruction done through roux-en-y esophago-jejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy.
conclusionGISTs most commonly affect the stomach, most tumors are treated by primary surgical excision with normal safety margins, advanced disease may need imatinib before surgery which helps in decreasing the size of the tumor and makes surgery easier.
