Spontaneous Terminal Ileum GIST Perforation Causing an Acute Abdomen in an Elderly Patient-A Rare Case.

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 tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors primarily located in the stomach and small intestine; their occurrence in the terminal ileum is particularly rare. Although GISTs can develop throughout the gastrointestinal tract, cases of perforation in elderly individuals are even less common, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case report describes an 86-year-old male patient with an acute abdomen caused by a terminal ileum perforated GIST requiring urgent surgical intervention. An immunohistochemical examination of the tumor confirmed a GIST with a GILT (gastrointestinal leiomyogenic tumor) immunophenotype. The rarity of this condition makes it diagnostically challenging, as its symptoms are often nonspecific, and GISTs are frequently overlooked, particularly in older patients. This case supplements the existing literature by emphasizing the importance of considering GIST perforation in the differential diagnosis of an acute abdomen, even in elderly patients and in rare anatomical locations.
