Gastric Leiomyoma Near the Gastroesophageal Junction Causing Massive Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Leiomyomas are rare, slow-growing submucosal tumors originating from smooth muscle cells. They are typically benign when found in the gastrointestinal tract, and they present no risk for recurrence or metastasis. In this report, we describe the case of a 64-year-old female patient presenting with severe anemia, generalized fatigue, and intermittent dark tarry stools and who was found to have a bleeding gastric cardia mass one centimeter distal to the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) on abdominal computed tomography and confirmed with an esophagoduodenoscopy. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic wedge resection of the stomach with partial resection of the gastrohepatic ligament was performed to resect the mass. Histopathological examination revealed positivity for smooth muscle actin (SMA) and H caldesmon, consistent with a leiomyoma. In this report, we discuss this patient's clinical presentation, the method of mass resection, the importance of mass location in choosing a surgical approach for resection, and differential diagnoses for this case.
