A Case of Gastric Glomus Tumor Misdiagnosed as Carcinoid Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Glomus tumor is a rare mesenchymal tumor commonly located in the periphery of glomus bodies, such as the subungual regions (e.g., fingernails and toenails). Other locations include the forearm, wrist, or trunk. Even rare is when these tumors are found in the submucosa. In the stomach, it is commonly found at the gastric antrum. Gastric glomus tumors (GGTs) are often found incidentally after a presumption of other gastric tumors is diagnosed, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) or carcinoid tumors. The variable clinical presentation of GGT and the fact that histology is the only way to confirm the diagnosis is what makes GGT such an elusive tumor. Our case is a patient that presented with weight loss and reflux. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy were done, and the diagnosis of carcinoid tumor was presumed. Preliminary pathology was suggestive of a diagnosis of carcinoid tumor. The patient eventually had a subtotal gastrectomy, and a biopsy with immunohistochemical staining of the specimen was received, finally confirming the diagnosis of a GGT.
