Primary isolated asymptomatic gastric tuberculosis of the cardia mimicking gastric stromal tumor: a rare case report and literature review.
Review in BMC gastroenterology, 2020. 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
backgroundPrimary isolated gastric TB of the cardia presenting as a submucosal tumor is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old female was admitted to our department; endoscopy revealed a smooth protruding lesion in the gastric cardia. The patient was diagnosed with a gastric cardia stromal tumor and the lesion was seen in muscularis propria by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) revealed that the lesion was filled with a milky, white liquid and white granulation tissue. Acid-fast specimen staining was negative. Hematoxylin and eosin staining showed patches of caseating necrosis and granulomatous inflammation. Gene sequencing subsequent to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the ESD specimen identified Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. TB) DNA fragments. The patient was put on ATT for 6 months.
conclusionPrimary isolated gastric TB of the cardia should be suspected in patients without clinical symptoms whose manifestations are similar to those associated with submucosal tumors. TB-PCR may be helpful for further diagnosis.
