A Rare but Aggressive Malignancy: A Case Report of a Gastrointestinal Neuroectodermal Tumor (GNET).
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 neuroectodermal tumors (GNETs) are extremely rare and intriguing malignancies originating from neural crest cells in the digestive tract. The digestive tract's neural crest cells can give rise to incredibly unusual and interesting gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumors (GNETs). GNETs present considerable hurdles in diagnosis and management because of their rarity and varied expression. In this case report, a 45-year-old male patient is described who had signs of GNET, such as exhaustion, weight loss, and abdominal pain. A 7-cm jejunum tumor and related thickening of the gut wall were discovered using imaging investigations. The diagnosis of malignant GNET was confirmed by surgical resection, and adjuvant treatment was given. A recurring tumor required a second surgical procedure despite an initial disease-free period. The report emphasizes the difficulties involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term effects of GNETs. The rarity of GNETs necessitates the development of standardized treatment protocols as well as additional research to enhance diagnostic precision and explore novel therapeutic approaches for this aggressive malignancy.
