Pedunculated Extraluminal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of Stomach: A Rare Case Report in South Korea.

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 tumors (GISTs) are known to arise from any of the five layers of the gastric wall, most commonly from the muscularis propria. Extraluminal gastric GISTs account for approximately 8% of cases and are relatively rare, with pedunculated forms being scarcely reported in South Korea. A 25-year-old man presented to our hospital with an incidental left upper quadrant (LUQ) mass adjacent to the stomach on a screening computed tomography (CT) scan. He had no symptoms and no suspicious findings on gastrointestinal endoscopy. Laparoscopic excision was performed, revealing an 8 cm × 7 cm mass connected to the posterior gastric serosa. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of GIST. We report this case as an extremely rare presentation of a gastric GIST presenting as a pedunculated mass connected to the outer serosal surface, underscoring the diagnostic challenges associated with such atypical presentations.
