Apatinib treatment for unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumor with synchronous gastric cancer.
Article in Precision clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Nearly one-fifth of patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) simultaneously experience a second primary tumor. In particular, coexistence of gastric GISTs and gastric cancer is relatively more common. However, the optimal treatment for advanced GIST with gastric cancer is largely unknown. We report a case of simultaneous occurrence of gastric GIST and gastric cancer that benefited from apatinib. After first-line imatinib and S-1 treatment for 6 months, the GIST and the gastric cancer both progressed. The patient was then treated with apatinib, exhibiting a partial response (PR) both in the GIST and the gastric cancer at 7 months, and continuous PR so far with well-controlled toxic effects of hypertension. Progression-free survival reached 10 months. In view of the relatively high incidence of advanced GIST with synchronous gastric cancer, therapy to simultaneously treat the two kinds of tumors is urgently needed. Apatinib provides promising and well-tolerated therapy for GISTs with synchronous gastric cancer refractory to chemotherapy combined with imatinib.
