GIST presenting as refractory iron-deficiency anaemia in paediatric patient.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. 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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are very rare gastrointestinal (GI) mesenchymal tumours affecting only 0.02 children/million/year below the age of 14 years. We reported a 9-year-old girl presented to emergency department with pallor and haemoglobin of 50 g/L. Extensive workup for anaemia suggested iron-deficiency anaemia secondary to GI loss. Ultimately after blood transfusion of packed cells, she was discharged with a haemoglobin of 92 g/L with iron supplementation. Upper endoscopy showed incidental antral nodularity with biopsy proven helicobacter gastritis and an isolate 3-4 cm suspicious mass in the lesser curvature. Abdomen imaging confirmed the gastric mass in addition to two lesions, one retroperitoneal and one paraspinal. She undergone open laparotomy with complete surgical resection of the gastric and retroperitoneal masses with histological confirmation of GIST and paraganglioma. This case emphasises the importance of proper examination of the stomach at endoscopy and to illustrate that although anaemia is common in paediatric age group it may be reflect serious medical condition even in normal looking child.
