Unusual Presentation of a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in a Small Intestine Diverticulum.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 50-year-old female with no significant medical history initially presented to an urgent care center with symptoms of acute onset abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis. Chest and abdominal X-ray revealed free air under the diaphragm, prompting immediate transfer to the emergency department. Continued abdominal tenderness and pain were concerning for perforated viscus. The patient was transferred to the operating room, and diagnostic laparoscopy was performed. Inflammation and contamination were discovered in the right side of the abdomen and pelvis secondary to a small bowel (SB) perforation. Segmental SB resection revealed a perforated diverticulum. Pathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) at the perforated segment. On postoperative day 5, the patient was discharged home, and at 30-month follow-up, the patient continued to do well. Although rare, SB diverticula are commonly false (i.e., pseudodiverticula). The concomitant presence of a GIST in a true SB diverticulum presenting with perforation has not yet been reported.
