A Rare Case of Gastric Glomangioma Mimicking a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST).
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplasms originating from modified smooth muscle cells involved in thermoregulation. Although typically located in peripheral soft tissues, their presence in the stomach is uncommon and may lead to diagnostic difficulties. This report presents a rare case of gastric glomangioma that clinically and radiologically mimicked a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. A 61-year-old woman presented in July 2024 with a three-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and abdominal bloating. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a submucosal lesion at the incisura angularis resembling a stromal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a well-circumscribed, submucosal, iso-hypoechoic mass measuring 19.5×11.3 mm. Due to persistent symptoms, surgical excision was performed, and the mass was completely removed with negative margins. Histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of a gastric glomus tumor. The postoperative course was uneventful, and no complications were observed during follow-up. This case emphasizes the importance of including glomus tumors in the differential diagnosis of subepithelial gastric lesions, particularly when imaging findings overlap with more common entities. Increased clinical awareness may improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy and support appropriate management strategies.
