A Serosa-Originated Gastric Stromal Tumor Misdiagnosed by Ultrasonography and Frozen Section Pathology: A Case Report.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a mesenchymal neoplasm, typically arising from the muscularis propria layer of the stomach wall. Serosa-derived GIST is rarely seen and has not been reported yet. A 49-year-old Chinese female was presented with marked abdominal distension. Ultrasonography revealed a retroperitoneal tumor adjacent to the stomach wall with an intact structure of five echo layers, indicating a non-stomach tumor origin. Preoperative radiological studies suggested tight tumor-stomach adjacency, which was confirmed by intraoperative dissection. Initial frozen section indicated a pathological diagnosis of spindle cell tumor, which turned out to be a gastric GIST originated from the serosa layer of the stomach wall. The current case demonstrates the rare occurrence of serosa-derived GIST. This case also suggests difficulties in preoperative diagnosis of gastric GISTs, especially when uncommon pathological conditions like rare tumor origins were presented.
