Primary gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor treated with non-exposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery (NEWS): A case report and literature review.
Article in DEN open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an intermediate malignancy with myofibroblast proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration with malignant potential. Primary IMTs are predominantly reported in the lungs, while gastric IMTs are very rare. Therefore, no guidelines exist for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric IMTs. The present case is a 39-year-old man diagnosed with an asymptomatic gastric submucosal tumor. Considering the malignancy of the tumor, we selected non-exposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery as the resection method and successfully performed local resection. Histopathological analysis showed myofibroblast proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration, with a diagnosis of primary gastric IMT and negative resection margins. Immunohistochemical staining was negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. To the best of our knowledge, including our case, there have been 52 reported cases of primary gastric IMTs that have been treated, with several recurrent cases. In this study, we report the first case of local resection of gastric IMT using non-exposed endoscopic wall-inversion surgery, with a literature review.
