Appendiceal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: A Case Report and Review of the Relevant Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common type of mesenchymal tumor found in the gastrointestinal tract, but appendiceal GIST is very rare. It is often discovered when patients present symptoms that resemble those of acute appendicitis. We herein report the case of an 81-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain. He underwent a laparoscopic appendicectomy with histopathological examination confirming a completely resected GIST of the appendix. GIST of the appendix is rare, with only a few reported cases. We currently present a case of appendiceal GIST that was diagnosed postoperatively. Preoperative diagnosis of appendiceal GIST is difficult because of its small size. Therefore, surgeons must be cautious when considering the possibility of an appendiceal GIST and ensure adequate surgical margins.
