Extragastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Presenting as a Recurrent Vaginal Mass: Case Report.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the dominant mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract. Extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs) usually originate outside the gastrointestinal tract without connection to the gastric or intestinal wall. However, EGISTs arising from the vaginal wall are very rare. Here, we report a case of EGIST that occurred in the vagina of a 60-year-old woman. The tumor was present in the posterior vaginal wall. It was surgically excised, and histological examination revealed spindle cell morphology with up to 14 mitoses per 50 high power field (HPF) and necrosis with the tumor-negative margins. Immunohistochemical analyses showed strongly positive CD34, CD117, and DOG-1 expression, but negative SMA, S-100, CD10, desmin, and actin expression. The patient underwent surgery and is currently being followed up. A literature review of EGSTs and treatments is also discussed in this report.
