Multiple intratumoral sources of kit ligand promote gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

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 tumor (GIST) is the most common human sarcoma and is typically driven by a single mutation in the Kit or PDGFRA receptor. While highly effective, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are not curative. The natural ligand for the Kit receptor is Kit ligand (KitL), which exists in both soluble and membrane-bound forms. While KitL is known to stimulate human GIST cell lines in vitro, we used a genetically engineered mouse model of GIST containing a common human KIT mutation to investigate the intratumoral sources of KitL, importance of KitL during GIST oncogenesis, and contribution of soluble KitL to tumor growth in vivo. We discovered that in addition to tumor cells, endothelia and smooth muscle cells produced KitL in Kit
