Diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma via gastric biopsy leading to the detection of an AIDS case in a report.
Article in Science progress. 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
Kaposi's sarcoma is a vascular low-grade malignant tumor that is frequently observed in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with AIDS, and is caused by Human Herpesvirus 8. This case report presents a case of gastric Kaposi's sarcoma identified through gastric mucosa biopsy, which eventually resulted in an AIDS diagnosis. The Digestive Endoscopy Center at Jilin received a male patient in his mid-30s in 2024 with a chief complaint of "abdominal and periumbilical pain for two weeks." Esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated dispersed white patches throughout the esophagus mucosa, along with localized raised lesions exhibiting depressed surfaces and congestion in the gastric body. The esophageal biopsy confirmed fungal esophagitis, while the gastric body mucosa biopsy confirmed Kaposi's sarcoma. This case report aims to improve the diagnostic skills for identifying gastrointestinal Kaposi's sarcoma in individuals with digestive symptoms by analyzing clinical manifestations and pathological results from gastric mucosa biopsies.
