Multifocal small bowel gastrointestinal stromal tumor causing perforation peritonitis: A rare cause of acute abdomen.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
A female patient in late 40s presented with severe abdominal pain, distension and fever for a week. Ultrasound abdomen revealed ascites and a large indeterminate mass in the pelvis, but bowel loops were not dilated. Contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) abdomen revealed a large, exophytic, heterogeneously enhancing intraperitoneal mass, arising from a jejunal loop in the pelvis; showing fistulous communication with an adjacent small bowel loop. Multiple smaller enhancing rounded, serosal masses were also seen in the jejunum and ileum along with pneumoperitoneum, moderate ascites and peritoneal enhancement. A differential diagnosis of multifocal Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or leiomyosarcoma was entertained on CECT. Exploratory laparotomy revealed one large and multiple small tumors along with and minute small bowel perforations; histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Presentation of multiple small bowel GIST with perforation peritonitis on preoperative computed tomography (CT) has not been reported earlier.
