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

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) primarily progresses through direct invasion into the lung and pleura and is a refractory tumor in which asbestos exposure is a major underlying factor in most cases. Hematogenous metastasis of MPM is not uncommon in advanced stages, and reports suggest that metastatic sites may impact prognosis. Gastrointestinal metastases, ranging from the stomach to the colon, have been sporadically observed, but metastases to the small intestine and duodenum are exceedingly rare. Here, we report a case in which duodenal metastasis of MPM was endoscopically identified during the patient's lifetime while undergoing salvage chemotherapy following treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and cytotoxic chemotherapy. Given the rarity and clinical significance of such cases, we present this report with a review of the relevant literature.
