1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, with proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase (c-kit), or PDGFRα mutations detected in around 85% of cases. GISTs without c-kit or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) mutations are considered wild-type (WT). Recently, some molecular alterations, including neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions, have been reported in very few cases of WT GISTs. This novel finding opens the window for the use of tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor therapy in these subtypes of GIST. In this case report, we present a rare
