Unicentric Castleman Disease of the Mesentery Mimicking a Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is a rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder commonly found in the mediastinum and retroperitoneum, with mesenteric involvement being exceptionally uncommon. We present a case of a 21-year-old male with a history of constipation, fatigue, and recurrent right iliac fossa pain for six months. Initial imaging suggested a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); however, the final diagnosis of UCD hyaline vascular (HV) variant was made based on immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and histopathological reports. Surgical excision led to complete resolution of symptoms. This unique case makes UCD a differential diagnosis for a right iliac fossa highly vascular mass and underlines the necessity for comprehensive histological and IHC analysis. Successful surgical intervention and exclusion of multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) have resulted in a favorable patient outcome.
