Small intestine leiomyosarcoma mimicking gastrointestinal stromal tumour.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Small bowel malignant tumours make only 2% of all gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Small bowel leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is further rare, accounts for only 0.1%-3% fraction of these tumours. These cases can present as asymptomatic intra-abdominal mass, anaemia due to GI bleed or acute abdomen such as perforation peritonitis, intussusception and bowel ischaemia. Standard of care is surgical resection. Our case presented as large lobulated exophytic ileal LMS measuring 10.8×11×14.7 cm involving multiple small bowel loops and abutting right iliac vessels and uterus. Patient's clinical course was complicated with COVID-19 positivity, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism. She was managed by preoperative anticoagulation followed by resection of the tumour with end ileostomy.
