Gastroblastoma in a 5-year-old child: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Gastroblastoma is an extremely rare stomach tumor with a biphasic cell morphology of epithelioid and spindle cells. Due to the low incidence rate and the lack of specific clinical characteristics, it is easy to misdiagnose. Detailed imaging analysis is also unavailable. At present, we reported a case of gastroblastoma to analyze its clinical and imaging characteristics. In addition, we reviewed the imaging findings, current diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of gastroblastoma. Case presentation: A 5-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with upper abdominal pain and melena. Endoscopic examination showed a protuberant submucosal mass on the greater curvature of the gastric body. Abdominal ultrasonography and an abdominal enhanced computed tomography further confirmed the mass. The patient was pathologically diagnosed with gastroblastoma after radical surgery in February 2021. Conclusion: We described a rare case of gastroblastoma and may provide a new perspective on imaging diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of this tumor. Gastroblastoma tends to occur in male patients, typically affects young people, and has low malignant potential and a low rate of recurrence and metastasis. Gastroblastoma usually arises in the gastric muscularis propria with hypoecogenic and submucosal characteristics in ultrasound examination and significant enhancement in computed tomography (CT) scan. Surgical resection and regular follow-up after surgery are the main management of the disease. Clinicians should strengthen the understanding of this rare tumor for early detection and treatment.
