Laparoscopic Partial Gastrectomy for Large Gastric GISTs.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are considered the most common mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract and the stomach is the most frequently site affected (50-60%). The safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for gastric GISTs of sizes larger than 5 cm remains unclear. It depends on the surgical skills, tumor location, and the learning curve of the surgeons.
methodsBetween December 2013 and January 2021, 30 patients diagnosed with gastric GISTs underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. This is a retrospective study done in Surgical Oncology unit, Oncology Center, Mansoura University, Egypt.
resultsThe most common tumor location was in the greater curvature in (46.7%). The mean tumor size was 9.5 cm (range 5-17 cm). All of the patients underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy. Associated splenectomy was done for only one patient. The mean operative time was 152.67 min and the estimated blood loss (EBL) was 139.33 ml. The mean hospital stay was 3.53 days. The mean follow-up period was 32.4 months.
conclusionLaparoscopic resection for gastric GISTs has become a feasible method. Patients with large tumors have the same favorable outcomes as small tumors. Large-sized GISTs may receive neoadjuvant therapy to downstage the disease and make it amenable for laparoscopic resection.
