Primary undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the stomach mimicking a gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Introduction: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare and aggressive malignant soft tissue sarcoma. While most commonly arising in the extremities and trunk, primary occurrence in the stomach is exceedingly rare. Due to its rarity and nonspecific presentation, preoperative diagnosis is challenging and often established postoperatively through detailed histopathological and molecular analysis. Case presentation: We report the case of a 71-year-old female presenting with a gastric mass and anorexia, who was preoperatively misdiagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST) based on clinical and imaging characteristics. Due to the massive tumor burden and anatomical complexity, the patient underwent an R0 resection combined with splenectomy. The final diagnosis of primary gastric UPS was established through an exclusionary process involving comprehensive histopathological, immunohistochemical (including negativity for CD117, CD34, DOG-1), and molecular analyses to rule out other tumors with specific lines of differentiation. Despite adjuvant doxorubicin chemotherapy, follow-up imaging revealed tumor recurrence two months postoperatively. Conclusion: This case underscores the highly aggressive biological behavior and dismal prognosis associated with primary gastric UPS. The rapid recurrence following multimodal therapy highlights the critical importance of considering UPS in the differential diagnosis of gastric soft tissue masses and emphasizes the urgent need for more effective, comprehensive therapeutic strategies.
