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
backgroundPiecemeal resection (PR) during endoscopic resection (ER) of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGISTs) is associated with an increased risk of tumor recurrence and incomplete resection. Identifying risk factors and developing a predictive model for PR may aid in preoperative planning and patient counseling.
methodsThis multi-center retrospective study analyzed 809 patients who underwent ER for gGISTs. Patients were divided into a training cohort (TC, n = 387), an internal validation cohort (IVC, n = 166), and an external validation cohort (EVC, n = 256). Baseline characteristics were compared between the en bloc resection and PR groups in the TC. Independent risk factors for PR were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis, based on which a scoring system was developed. The model underwent internal and external validation, and its performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy.
resultsIn the TC, tumor size ≥ 2.5 cm (OR = 2.61, 95% CI 1.28-5.45, P = 0.009), irregular shape (OR = 5.03, 95% CI 2.28-11.08, P < 0.001), severe intraoperative bleeding (OR = 5.53, 95% CI 2.23-13.55, P < 0.001), and operator experience < 50 cases (OR = 4.23, 95% CI 2.10-8.73, P < 0.001) were independently associated with piecemeal resection. A scoring system based on these factors showed good predictive performance, with AUCs of 0.799 in the TC, 0.847 in the IVC, and 0.842 in an EVC. Sensitivity and specificity ranged from 0.652 to 0.818 and 0.736 to 0.833, respectively.
conclusionWe developed and validated a simple scoring system incorporating tumor size, shape, intraoperative bleeding, and operator experience to predict the risk of piecemeal resection during endoscopic resection of gGISTs. This tool may assist in preoperative risk stratification and optimize treatment strategies.
