Unveiling a Jejunal Leiomyosarcoma Presenting as a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Small bowel malignant tumors, particularly leiomyosarcomas (LMSs), are rare and challenging to diagnose due to their asymptomatic nature in the initial stages. The lack of specific symptoms makes it difficult to differentiate LMSs from other gastrointestinal tumors. This report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, treatment, and prognosis of small bowel LMSs, specifically focusing on a rare case of jejunal LMS presented in a 75-year-old man, initially suspected as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Clinical examination, laboratory investigations, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis were performed to diagnose and treat the patient. The patient underwent surgical excision of the tumor with successful recovery. The histopathological analysis confirmed a high-grade LMS, and the patient was advised on adjuvant chemotherapy for further treatment. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering small bowel LMSs in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and highlights the challenges in diagnosing and treating these rare tumors. Early detection and appropriate management can improve the prognosis of patients with small bowel LMSs.
