Gastric Schwannoma in an Octogenarian: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Gastric schwannomas are an exceedingly rare tumor arising from the myenteric plexus of the gastrointestinal enteric nervous system. These schwannomas are most commonly benign and reported to occur in female patients with a mean age of 58 at presentation. They are most often discovered incidentally, but can occasionally present with abdominal discomfort, obstructive symptoms, or GI bleeding. Frequently, the initial clinical consideration is for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, which is much more common. A definitive diagnosis is made with microscopic imaging and immunohistochemical staining. Complete surgical resection, typically performed laparoscopically, is the most definitive and usually curative treatment, requiring no further follow-up. Herein, we present the first and only case of gastric schwannoma in an octogenarian and discuss an update on current diagnostic and therapeutic options.
