Case Report: Coexistence of an esophageal schwannoma disguised as a leiomyoma with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the gastric fundus.

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
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of coexisting esophageal schwannoma and gastric fundus gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). This case report describes the diagnostic and treatment process of a patient with esophageal schwannoma who also had a concurrent gastric fundus GIST and was presented to Hebei General Hospital (Hebei, China) in October 2024. The association between the pathogenesis of the two types of submucosal gastrointestinal tumors is unclear, with limited existing evidence in the literature. The esophageal schwannoma was misdiagnosed as a leiomyoma preoperatively, which prompted us to seek new diagnostic modalities to differentiate gastrointestinal submucosal lesions (leiomyomas, GISTs, and schwannomas). Surgical resection is considered the optimal treatment for esophageal schwannoma. The patient underwent a right single-port thoracoscopic esophageal tumor resection and recovered well, subsequently being discharged smoothly from the hospital.
