An Unusual Case of Suspected Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Complicated by Streptococcus Intermedius Pyogenic Liver Disease.

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
A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract often known to express c-KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα). Among all GI tract cancers, they account for less than 1% of cases. Most patients become symptomatic in the later stages of the tumor's course, often presenting with insidious anemia due to gastrointestinal bleeding and metastasis. The recommended management of solitary GIST is surgery, while larger or metastatic tumors that express c-KIT are managed with imatinib as either neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. Due to the progression of these tumors, they are at times associated with systemic anaerobic infection, which is an indication of malignancy workup. In this case report, we discuss a 35-year-old woman who was discovered to have GIST with possible hepatic metastasis complicated by pyogenic liver disease due to S
