GIST-ery solved: story of an intestinal mass in a young lady.
Article in Journal of 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
A 19-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and a palpable mass, initially suspected to be a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) based on imaging. Surgical excision revealed a sclerotic spindle cell neoplasm with minimal cytological atypia, but immunohistochemistry (IHC) was negative for GIST-specific markers. The pan-negative IHC profile, along with calcification foci and low Ki67 index (<1%), led to a diagnosis of calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT). This case highlights the importance of precise diagnostic evaluation and consideration of rare entities like CFT. Comprehensive histopathological evaluation and IHC are essential diagnostic tools, as they can distinguish between GIST and CFT, leading to accurate treatment and patient management. This case underscores the value of thorough pathological assessment in resolving diagnostic challenges.
