Gastrointestinal stromal tumors of the small intestine: the challenge of diagnosis and the outcome of management.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposesGastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare small intestinal tumor. Most patients usually report long-period complaints due to difficult diagnoses. A high grade of suspicion is required for early diagnosis and initiation of the proper management.
methodsA retrospective study of all patients with small intestinal GIST who were operated in the period between January 2008 and May 2021 at Mansoura University Gastrointestinal Surgical Center (GIST).
resultsThirty-four patients were included in the study with a mean age of 58.15 years (± 12.65) with a male to female ratio of 1.3:1. The mean duration between onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 4.62 years (± 2.34). Diagnosis of a small intestinal lesion was accomplished through abdominal computed tomography (CT) in 19 patients (55.9%). The mean size of the tumor was 8.76 cm (± 7.76) ranging from 1.5 to 35 cm. The lesion was of ileal origin in 20 cases (58.8%) and jejunal in 14 cases (41.2%). During the scheduled follow-up period, tumor recurrence occurred in one patient (2.9%). No mortality was encountered.
conclusionDiagnosis of a small bowel GISTs requires a high grade of suspicion. Implementing new diagnostic techniques like angiography, capsule endoscopy, and enteroscopy should be encouraged when suspecting these lesions. Surgical resection is always associated with an excellent postoperative recovery profile and very low recurrence rates.
