Debulking of Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor With Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Refractory to Imatinib and Sunitinib: A Case Report.

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 non-epithelial stromal tumors that arise in the gastrointestinal tract. Pharmacological treatments for GIST are tyrosine kinase inhibitors. For metastatic disease, debulking may be helpful in reducing the tumor burden, thus increasing the effectiveness of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Debate on whether resection would benefit the patient is still present. Here is a case of a 52-year-old African American male presenting with metastatic malignant GIST with peritoneal carcinomatosis refractory to imatinib and sunitinib. Since this patient had stage IV metastasis it was ultimately decided to proceed with a therapeutic debulking procedure. For this patient, the procedure increased the effectiveness of the medication and reduced mass effect symptoms, improving quality of life.
