Successful resection of a rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumor using a transperineal approach: a case report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2024. 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
backgroundRectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) complicate surgical approaches because of their anatomical position. We herein report a patient with rectal GIST on the anterior wall of the lower rectum, hat was successfully resected using a transperineal approach. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes a unique case of a 73-year-old man who was diagnosed with rectal GIST on the anterior wall of the lower rectum. The tumor was located within 3 cm of the anal verge, a location that would require highly invasive surgery. A transperineal approach was planned to preserve the anal function. Under general anesthesia, the patient was placed in a lithotomy position and a Mercedes-Benz incision was made in the perineum. Excision of the tumor was performed. The post-operative course was uneventful, and the patient remained free from recurrence.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of performing minimally invasive and safe surgery. With some surgical refinements, a transperineal approach may be an option for surgical procedures in patients with rectal GIST on the anterior wall of the lower rectum.
