Perirectal Extragastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: An Unusual Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), even though rare, remain the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When GISTs occur outside of the GI tract, they are termed extragastrointestinal stromal tumors (EGISTs). Most GISTs arise from the stomach (50-70%) and small intestine (20-30%). A smaller percentage of these tumors also occurs in the large intestine (5%) and esophagus (2-5%). EGISTs have histopathological and molecular characteristics that are similar to GISTs. However, the precise incidence and tumor behavior of EGISTs are not fully understood. EGISTs have no specific symptoms or radiologic features, and in most cases, the presenting complaint is abdominal pain or discomfort. Yet, they tend to be more aggressive and have a worse prognosis than GISTs. Morphologic diagnosis based on microscopic examination of histological sections is the standard diagnostic procedure for GIST/EGIST. In this patient-centered study, we present a case of EGIST that originated in the anterior perirectal space, an extremely rare location; we also describe the endoscopic approach that was used to biopsy the tumor.
