Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Presenting as Bleeding Jejunal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. 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
Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are an important, though uncommon, cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and may rarely be associated with genodermatoses such as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). NF1-related GISTs have unique phenotypic features compared with sporadic GISTs and may elude diagnosis due to their predilection for the small bowel. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 45-year-old Singaporean woman with café-au-lait macules and cutaneous neurofibromas who presented with occult obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and was eventually discovered to have a bleeding jejunal GIST. This finding, considered together with her cutaneous signs, eventually led to the diagnosis of NF1. Conclusion: Genodermatoses and their gastrointestinal complications are likely under-reported in adult Southeast Asian populations and deserve greater awareness from gastroenterologists practising in this region.
