Massive bleeding of a jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumour: a rare case of a life-threatening presentation.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A jejunal gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is a rare neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Massive bleeding due to a jejunal GIST is a diagnostic challenge and could present as a life-threatening situation needing urgent intervention. A 54-year-old woman presented with episodes of melaena and haematochezia for the previous 3 days. An oesophagoduodenoscopy was inconclusive. A contrast computed tomography (CT) scan showed a well-defined extraluminal mass in the proximal jejunum suggestive of a bleeding GIST. Her haemodynamic state deteriorated despite initial supportive therapy including a blood transfusion. An urgent laparotomy to excise the jejunal mass was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis. She subsequently received adjuvant imatinib therapy. She has remained symptom free at 5 months post-op. We therefore present a rare case of obscure massive gastrointestinal bleeding due to a jejunal GIST. The CT scan was the most effective investigation to detect the source of bleeding in this case.
