A Rare Case of Terminal Ileum Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in a Young Caucasian Adult.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 (GISTs) are rare in young individuals and typically affect older adults. We present the case of a previously healthy male who presented with severe hematochezia, fatigue, and dizziness. Colonoscopy did not demonstrate any colonic mass. CT of the pelvis with contrast revealed a pelvic mass measuring 7.4 cm. Biopsy confirmed a low-grade mixed-type GIST of the terminal ileum. Surgical resection was successfully performed. Histopathological analysis further characterized the tumor, and the patient was discharged with consideration of adjuvant imatinib therapy. This case underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation and multidisciplinary management for atypical presentations of gastrointestinal bleeding in young patients.
