Different Medical Features and Strategies of Large Rectal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Multi-Central Pooling Analysis.
Article in Cancer management and research, 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
purposeThe rectum is a rare site for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Tumors in this critical anatomical site are prone to develop local recurrence, and this occurs at a high level even in low-risk tumors. Previous studies found that high-risk was the most common category in rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (RGISTs), and size was the most important factor affecting the long-term prognosis. We aimed to find out the most influential factor on clinical outcomes, and describe demographics, oncological differences, and surgical procedures in patients with poor prognosis. PATIENTS AND
methodsData on consecutive patients with RGIST, who were diagnosed at Peking University People's Hospital, Shandong Province Hospital, and The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from 2010 to 2020, were retrospectively evaluated. Further, a literature search was conducted by retrieving data from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases from inception up to March 20, 2020.
resultsIn all, 50 patients were diagnosed with RGIST at three medical centers, and 86 published records were finally included in the literature review. Combined analysis of the whole individual patient data showed that 5.5 cm was deemed an appropriate cut-off value for L-RGIST, and that patients usually showed a male predominance (67.59%), younger age at onset (56.61 years), higher operative difficulty, and poorer prognosis.
conclusionSeparation of patients with large RGIST from general patients may contribute to the recognition of the oncological characteristics and clinical management of this rare type of tumor.
