Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prognosis of Patients with Primary Familial Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in The oncologist, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract, most of which are sporadic, and familial GISTs with germline mutations are rarely seen. Here, we report a 26-year-old female with a germline p. W557R mutation in exon 11 of the KIT gene. The proband and her father and sister presented with multifocal GIST and pigmented nevi. All 3 patients underwent surgery and imatinib therapy. To date, only 49 kindreds with germline KIT mutations and 6 kindreds with germline PDGFRA mutations have been reported. Summarizing the reported kindreds, the majority of familial GISTs manifest as multiple primary GISTs complicated with special clinical manifestations, including cutaneous hyperpigmentation, dysphagia, mastocytosis, inflammatory fibrous polyps, and large hands. Familial GISTs are generally thought to exhibit TKI sensitivity similar to that of sporadic GISTs with the same mutation.
