1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTreatments for metastatic, unresectable, or treatment-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) include avapritinib, imatinib, regorafenib, ripretinib, and sunitinib. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database collects medication-related adverse events (AEs). DESIGN AND

methodsReports in the FAERS database from each medication's FDA approval to June 30, 2025 were analyzed. Reports containing other medications or indications outside of GIST treatment were excluded.

resultsAvapritinib was associated with fatigue (

conclusionsThe FAERS database revealed multiorgan AEs associated with five GIST treatment medications. Novel findings include eye/facial and peripheral edema with avapritinib, palmar-plantar erythrodyesthesia syndrome, headache/migraine, and gait abnormalities across all five medications, pancytopenia with imatinib, and hemorrhage with imatinib and sunitinib.
