Multifocal Small Bowel Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST): 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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours, also known as GIST, are a rare subset of soft tissue sarcomas. They are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the GI tract and can be found multifocal intra-operatively. We present a 44-year-old male patient who presented with vague upper abdominal pain of one-week duration associated with non-bilious vomiting. His CT abdomen with IV contrast revealed a non-enhancing intraperitoneal mass, which displaced the small bowel and mesentery; however, there was no obstruction or strangulation. A CT-guided biopsy was done and showed a low-grade gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Interestingly, during diagnostic laparoscopy, in addition to the large serosal ileal mass, he had multiple smaller lesions throughout the small bowel. He underwent resection of all the masses. He made an excellent recovery and was discharged home on postoperative day three. Small bowel GIST can rarely present as multiple lesions. Examination of all bowels during surgery is mandatory.
